This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b

where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.

m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)

1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb

Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.

Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25

Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x

Now round to the nearest tenth:

y = 126.3 - 0.3x

Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x

Answer:

In order to ride on the ride an individual must be at least 4 feet tall.

This means that the individual must be equal to 4 ¾ feet tall.

h = 4 ⅓

and the individual could be greater than 4¾ feet tall.

h > 4 ¾

So the individual could be greater than and equal to 4¾ feet tall.

h ≥ 4¾
