Answer:

When someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

Predicted height = (0.0267 inches per pound)(weight) + 65.2

Let y b the predicted height in inches and x be the weight in pounds.

y =65.2 + 0.0267x

Comparing to general form of equation:

y = mx +c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.0267

Interpretation of slope:

Th slope tells us about the rate of change that is when the weight increases by 1 unit that is 1 pound then, the height increases by 0.0267 inches.

When someone puts on 20 pounds:

y(x+20)-y(x) =65.2 + 0.0267(x+20) - 65.2 - 0.0267x\\y(x+20)-y(x) = 0.534

Interpretation:

Thus, when someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.

Campbell’s paycheck was $257.29. She put 1/4 of her paycheck into a savings account and used 1/3 of what was left to pay bills.
Stells [14]

Answer:

She has $128.65 left

Step-by-step explanation:

$257.29 x 1/4 = $64.32

$257.29 - $64.32 = $192.97

$192.97 x 1/3 = $64.32

$192.97 - $64.32 = $128.65
