The ideal maximum heart rate for 25 years old who burn fat is 117 beats per minute. For every 5 years older than 25, that ideal rate drops 3 beats per minute. Write a linear equation to find the ideal maximum over 25 who is exercising to burn fat. Graph the equation. Find the ideal maximum heart rate for a person exercising to burn fat who is 55 years old.
