Question

HELP PLEASEE!!! I just need help with the 2 boxes

Answer 1

`y= x - 300`

`y = -246` -- Her equivalent weight on earth

Explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

Fill in the gaps

(a) The equation

First, we calculate the slope (m)

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

From the table, we can say that:

`(x_1,y_1) = (0,-300)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (300,0)`

So, we have:

`m = (0 -(-300))/(300 - 0)`

`m = (0 +300)/(300)`

`m = (300)/(300)`

`m = 1`

The equation is then calculated using:

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

This gives:

`y - (-300) = 1(x - 0)`

`y +300 = 1(x)`

`y +300 = x`

`y= x - 300`

(b) When x = 54

Substitute 54 for x in
`y= x - 300`

`y = 54 - 300`

`y = -246`
