Question 185428This question is from textbook
: The amount of time it takes a flame to go out in a closed contanier is a linear function of the volume of the container. A flame in a 656 mL container takes 12 seconds to go out and a flame in a 1353 mL container takes 29 seconds. Find the linear model that describes this situation. Express your result in slope-intercept form. This question is from textbook

In this scenario, we can appoint the following
It follows also AMP Parsing Error of [system(X[2]=29sec,X[1]=12sec,Y[2]=1353ml,Y[1]=656ml)]: Invalid function ',X[1]=12\sec,Y[2]=1353\ml,Y[1]=656\ml)': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. .
Then, Via point-Slope Form:
Slope
Thru Point X1,Y1---->(12,656):
Via Slope-Intercept Form,

, Y-Intercept
Also thru point X2,Y2---> (29,1353): (should be the same)

, Y-Intercept
Therefore, it follows Slope-Intercept Form, Answer Let's see the graph,
----> GREEN DOTS ----> X1, Y1; BLACK DOTS ---> X2, Y2
Thank you,
