Question 52403
You have a period of 100 days to lose 228 pounds...
So, believe or not, the rate of you lose pounds is actually the slope!
The number of days could be thought of as x
The number of pounds you lose could be thought of as y

{{{Slope=(change of y/change of x)}}}
{{{Slope=(288/100)}}}
{{{Slope=2.88}}}
Therefore, the rate at which you would lose 288 pounds over 100 days is 2.88

a) 100 lbs a day, gives me a net loss of 10,000 pounds over 100 days
b) 50 lbs a day, gives me a net loss of 5,000 pounds over 100 days
d) Never going to happen in your life?  Come on! Start now and you'll see results!
