Question 1
30383

When a persons height is between 155 cm and 185 cm, the equation relating weight (kg) to height (cm) is given as \(weight=0.70 \times height-65\). 

What is the interpretation of the slope in context with the variables of the equation?

\(slope =  0.7~\text{kg/cm}\)

For every rise of \(1 \mathrm{~cm}\) in height there is a gain of \(0.7 \mathrm{~kg}\), slope \(=0.70 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{cm}\).
