What is the slope of points (2,-15) and (-3,10).

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you are asking, "What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, -15) and (-3, 10)?"

As we go from (-3, 10) to (2, -15), x (the horizontal leg of a right triangle) increases by 5 (this is the 'run'), and y (the vertical leg) increases by 25 (the 'rise').  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = 25/5, or just 5.  m = 5

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
