What are the missing coordinates? My teacher said it was (h-m, n), but I’m saying it is (h+m, n). Could anyone help?

Explanation:

Here is how you can proove that you are right.

Note that m is the x-coordinate of the point   . Since this point is to the left of the y-axis, it is a negative number, but the negative sign is included in .

The distance from     to the y-axis is not but .

That is the same distance from the point with the missing coordinates to the point (h,0).

Then, the missing x-coordinate is    

Of course, there is not doubt about the y-coordinate: it is n, because the point with the missing coordinates is at the same height as (m,n).

Hence, the missing coordinates are x = h+m, and y = n: (h + m, n).

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

step-by-step explanation:

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
