Answer:
Part a
Part b.
The heart's resting rate is
beats each minute
Explanation:
Q6
Part a
The slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept ie the value of y when x is 0
Here we see when x = 0, y = 0 so the value of b is 0 and the equation is simply
y = mx
To compute m, all we have to do is take 2 points on the graph, find the difference in y values(called rise) and divide by the difference in x values(called run)
This would be
We are given y2 as 280(on the numerator). The corresponding x2 value from the graph is 4
We are given x1(on the denominator) as 2. The corresponding y1 value is 140 from the graph
So just fill in the missing values to get
The above simplifies to 70
So the equation is
Part b
The interpretation is:
The heart's resting rate is
beats each minute
