 A linear function models the height of a burning candle. Candle A comes out of the mold at

​mm, and is expected to be at

mm after

hours of burning. The model for Candle B is

where h is the height in millimeters and t is the time in hours. What are the initial values for each​ candle? What do the initial values for each candle tell​ you?

Use a pencil and paper. If the candles begin burning at the same​ time, can they ever be the same​ height? Explain.

the initial value for candle A  is........ mm
