Question

Assume a 150 pound person burns 120 calories after 2 hours of sleep and 240 calories after 4 hours of sleep. Part 1 (2 points): 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 (2 points): Write an equation, in slope intercept form, to represent this data. Part 3 (2 points): 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.
