MHR=220-age
(a) identify and(b)interpret the meaning of both the slope and the y-intercept.
-------------
To put the equation in slope-intercept form, write:
MHR= -age + 220
slope = -1
MHR intercept is 220
------------------
Meaning:
A slope of -1 means MHR decreases 1 when age increases 1.
An intercept of 220 means MHR is 220 when age=0
-----------
