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): Write an equation to represent this data. Use calories as the y-coordinate and hours as the x-coordinate.
Part 2 (2 points): What is the slope of the equation found in part 1? What does the slope represent in terms of the information provided?
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.
