A show pony weighs at least 900 pounds. After a recent weigh in, the owner of a show pony amended the diet of his pony, increasing the animal's caloric intake, with the hope that the pony would gain weight to be shown in a few months. The data shown in the table and scatter plot below represents the pony's additional daily caloric intake and recorded weight gain (in pounds) of the show pony over the last ten weeks.

Additional Daily Calories Consumed Weight Gained

(in pounds)

1,500 3

1,575 7

1,650 3

1,725 4

1,800 8

1,875 9

1,950 13

2,025 7

2,100 17

2,175 15

Part A: Use the data shown in the table and scatter plot to create an approximate equation for the line of best fit.

Part B: In complete sentences, describe the show pony's weight gain in terms of the units used in the data.

Part C: According to the equation for the best fit line for the data, approximately how much weight would you expect the pony to gain in a week if its additional daily caloric intake for that week is 2,300 calories?

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now

step-by-step explanation:
