Question 862151
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Letting *[tex \LARGE t] represent time in hours and *[tex \LARGE w] represent weight in ounces, you have two data points of the form *[tex \LARGE (t,w)], namely *[tex \LARGE (0,16)] and *[tex \LARGE (6,10)]


Use the two point form of an equation of a line to write the desired equation:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ -\ y_1\ =\ \left(\frac{y_1\ -\ y_2}{x_1\ -\ x_2}\right)(x\ -\ x_1) ]


where *[tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right)] and *[tex \Large \left(x_2,y_2\right)] are the coordinates of the given points.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
