To describe the rate of change for the relationship between the time and the height of Elijah's candle as it burns, you need to determine how much the height of the candle decreases per hour.
Since candles typically lose height as they burn, the rate of change would be negative, signifying a decrease in height.
Based on the options you've provided, you could correctly state:
The height **decreased** by either:
- **1/2 of an inch per hour**
- **3/4 of an inch per hour**
- **11/4 of an inch per hour** (which equals 2.75 inches)
- **1 1/3 of an inch per hour**
- **3 inches per hour**
- **4 inches per hour**
If you have specific values or measurements from Elijah's candle, you could specify which of these rates applies based on how much the candle actually shrinks over a given period of time.
