A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. He started at 90 kilograms and gained weight at a constant rate. After 8 months, he gained 138 kilograms. let W represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after t months.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation in slope intercept form is:

y = mx + c

where,

m is the slope

c is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept)

Let T = the sumo wrestler's weight (dependent variable)

t = the time in months (independent variable)

After 8 months, delta W = 138 kg

m(8) = T2 - T1/t2 - t1

= 138/8

= 17.25

The linear equation is equal to

T(t) = 17.25t + 90
