And here are your possible answers...
- 00:21
If we look at the data, as age increases by 5, average max heart rate decreases by 5.
- 00:28
Since age acts as our independent variable and average max
- 00:32
heart rate acts as our dependent variable,
- 00:38
we can calculate the change in average heart rate over age as the slope of our equation.
- 00:44
Which gives us negative 1.
- 00:46
The point slope form of a linear equation is y minus y1 equals slope times x minus x1.
- 00:54
h is y in this situation because it's the dependent variable, and a is x in this situation
- 01:01
because it's the independent variable.
- 01:04
We can take any x1 and y1 point to plug into the point-slope form of the equation...so
- 01:10
let's just take the points 20, 200.
- 01:13
We get h - 200 = -1(a - 20).
- 01:18
H minus 200 equals negative a plus 20.
- 01:22
Adding 200 to both sides of the equation... we have h equals 220 minus a.
- 01:27
We're looking for h given that a equals 22 years old.. so we get that h equals 198.

Answer's E.
