Alone in Your Dim, Unheated Room You Light One Candle ${ } ^ { \circ } F$

question 10

Short Answer

Alone in your dim, unheated room you light one candle rather than curse the darkness.Disgusted by the mess, you walk directly away from the candle.The temperature (in ${ } ^ { \circ } F$ )and illumination (in % of one candle power)decrease as your distance (in feet)from the candle increases.The table below shows this information.
$\begin{array}{ccc}\text { distance(feet) } & \text { Temp. }(\mathbf{F}) & \begin{array}{c}\text { illuminatiou } \\(\%)\end{array} \\0 & 55 & 100 \\1 & 54.5 & 85 \\2 & 53.5 & 75 \\3 & 52 & 67 \\4 & 50 & 60 \\5 & 47 & 56 \\6 & 43.5 & 53\end{array}$ Does the following graph show temperature or illumination as a function of distance?
