A 16-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate. After 30 minutes, the candle is 12 inches tall. Which linear equation models the relationship between h, the height of the candle in inches, and t, the time in hours that it has burned?

Answer 1

h = 16 - (16-12)/0.5h
h = 16 - 8in/h

Eq: h(t) = 16 - 8t
