If we increase our food intake, we generally gain weight. Nutrition scientists can calculate the amount of weight gain that would be associated with a given increase in calories. In one study, 16 nonobese adults, aged 25 to 36 years, were fed 1000 calories per day in excess the calories needed to maintain a stable body weight. The subjects maintained this diet for 8 weeks, so they consumed a total of 56,000 extra calories. According to theory, 7700 extra calories will translate into a weight gain of 1 kilogram. Therefore, we expect each of these subjects to gain 56000/7700=7.3 kilograms. The weights in kilograms before and after the 8-week period are shown below: ID: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Before: 55.7 54.9 59.6 62.3 74.2 75.6 70.7 53.3 73.3 63.4 68.1 73.7 91.7 55.9 61.7 57.8
After: 61.7 58.8 66.0 66.2 79.0 82.4 74.3 59.3 79.1 67.0 73.4 76.9 93.1 63.0 68.3 60.3

(1) For each subject, manually calculate the weight gain subtracting the weight before from the weight after.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. –3x – 6y = 17; (6, 3) y = x – 9 y = 2x – 9 y = –2x – 9 y = x + 0 3. is the relationship shown by the data linear? if so, model the data with an equation. x y 1 5 5 10 9 15 13 20 the relationship is linear; y – 5 = (x – 1). the relationship is not linear. the relationship is linear; y – 5 = (x – 1). the relationship is linear; y – 1 = (x – 5). write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (–10, –1); m = y + 10 = (x + 1) y – 1 = (x – 10) y – 1 = (x + 10) y + 1 = (x + 10) 5. write an equation for each translation of . 6.5 units up y + 6.5 = | x | y = | 6.5 x | y = | x | + 6.5 y = | x | – 6.5 6. write an equation for each translation of . 5.5 units right y = | x | + 5.5 y = | x – 5.5 | y = | x | – 5.5 y = | x + 5.5 | 7. which equation translates y = | x | by 8 units to the left? y = | x | – 8 y = | x | + 8 y = | x – 8| y = | x + 8|
