A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. After 11 months, he weighed 140 kilograms. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month.
Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months.
Complete the equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months.

Respuesta :

Answer: y= 5.5x + 79.5

Step-by-step explanation:We need to find his weight before he began or the y intercept.

               140=5.5(11) +b

                140=60.5 + b

                 -60.5  -60.5

            79.5= b  

y=5.5x + 79.5
