Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that describes the relationship can be written as
y = mx.

Using the two sets of coordinates, (2, 140) and (4, 280), calculate the slope (m) as shown below:


(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (280 - 140)/(4 - 2) = (140)/(2) = 70

Substitute m = 70 into
y = mx

The equation would be:


y = 70x

This equation can be interpreted as follows:

The heart's resting rate is 70 beats each minute.
