IS this table linear?? Can someone please explain???? What would the weight be if the number of weeks in the fitness program was
0???
1 answer:
Answer:
- not linear
- somewhere between 184 and 186 (maybe)
Step-by-step explanation:
As you show, the weight differences are different for the same week differences, so the table is not linear. A graph (attached) can also show you the table is not linear.
__
The highest rate of weight loss shown in the table is 7 lbs in 3 weeks, or 4 2/3 pounds in 2 weeks. The lowest rate of weight loss shown in the table is 5 lbs in 3 weeks, or 3 1/3 pounds in 2 weeks. Based on the rates shown in the table, we might expect the starting weight to be between 3 1/3 and 4 2/3 pounds more than the first table value:
Week 0 weight: between 184 1/3 and 185 2/3 lbs, estimated.
_____
A "line of best fit" for the data has a y-intercept of about 185 pounds, which is the midpoint between our two estimates above.

Company A:
Company B:
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial fee is the y-intercept, as that is the cost at x = 0, or the cost before any time has passed. Afterwards, the rate the cost increases is the slope.
Linear equation in slope-intercept form:
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Company A charges $50 up front and $40 per hour afterwards, so the equation would be:
Company B charges $25 up front and $50 per hour, so:
