A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. After 11 months, he weighed 140 kilograms. Let W(t) denote the sumo wrestler's weight W(measured in kilograms) as a function of time t (measured in months).

Since wrestler gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month, so slope of line be 5.5.

Now, we will use point-slope form of equation as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where,

m = Slope

$(x_1,y_1)$ = Given point on the line.

Upon substituting coordinates of point (11,140) in above formula, we will get:

$y-140=5.5(x-11)$

$y-140=5.5x-60.5$

$y-140+140=5.5x-60.5+140$

$y=5.5x+79.5$

Therefore, our required function would be $W(t)=5.5t+79.5$ .

We could use Algebra for this question but it’s quite simile so won’t need it. If Amanda is 25, when we add on 5 years she’ll be 30. Now it says when she’s 30, she will be twice as old as Simone. Implying that Simone will be half of Amanda’s age. In this case 30/2 = 15. So Simone must be 15.
