Question

Assume a 150 pound person burns 120 calories after 2 hours of sleep and 240 calories after 4 hours of sleep.
Part 1 : Use calories as the y-coordinate and hours as the x-coordinate. After writing two ordered pairs, find the slope. What does the slope represent in terms of the information provided?

Part 2 : Write an equation, in slope intercept form, to represent this data.

Part 3 : How many calories will this person burn after 8 hours of sleep? Using complete sentences, explain how the equation, slope, or graph can help to predict calories burned.

Answer 1

do you have the ordered pairs?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

x=hours y=calories
(2,120) ; ( 4,240)

Answer 4

to find slope intercept from two points you need the slope first... which is
