Numbers can be expressed, ordered and compared by a lot of mathematical principles, properties, models and paradigms. There are different properties of numbers to associate, group and distribute numbers. For example commutative property of addition, 1 + 2 = 3 can be 3 = 1 + 2. Moreover, numbers can be expressed by mathematical form, thus 100 wherein 1 is in the place order of hundreds. And so on… other examples can be mathematical symbols or inequality to compare numbers. For example, 1 > 2. One is less than 2.

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a constant rate.

Mamont248 [21]

The wrestler's weight before he went on his diet is 78 kg

<h3>How to find the y-intercept?</h3>

The formula for slope is;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Thus, using two points we have;

m = (93.6 - 85.8)/(3 - 1.5)

m = 5.2

At the start of his diet, time in months = 0 months and so x = 0. Thus;

5.2 = (85.8 - y0)/(1.5 - 0)

5.2 * 1.5 = 85.8 - y0

y0 = 85.8 - (5.2 * 1.5)

y0 = 85.8 - 7.8

y0 = 78 kg

Thus, the wrestler's weight before he went on his diet is 78 kg
