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.

Set up a proportion: 25/100 = 50/n where n = # of teens surveyed
Simplify fraction: 1/4 = 50/n
Cross multiply: n = 200
So 200 teens were surveyed.
