A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a rate of 5.55.55

Answer:
The equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months is
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope
b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
or say b is the actual weight of the wrestler.
In this problem
m=5.5 kg/month
Let
W ⇒ the sumo wrestler's weight in kg (dependent variable)
t ⇒ the time in months (independent variable)
The linear equation is equal to
where
b is the actual weight when he started the diet.
Now Given
W = 140 kg
t = 11 months
substitute in the linear equation to find the value of b
Hence,The equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months is

about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.
5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13
25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²
however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple
also is 39, 80, 89.
when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².
so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.
so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.
