Martin burns 360 calories running for 30 minutes. Paul burns 165 calories for every 15 minute he runs. If Kara runs for 20 minutes, how many calones would she have to burn to have a rate calories burned per minute of running that is between Martin and Paul? Please explain and give evidence.

 She would have to burn between 220 and 240 calories per minute to have a calorie burn rate between those of Martin and Paul.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin:

360 calories / 30 min = 12 calories/min

Paul:

165 calories / 15 min = 11 calories/min

Kara:

Needs to burn between 11 and 12 calories/min, so we'll calculate the range:

11 calories/min x 20 min = 220 calories (minimum # calories she can burn)

12 calories/min x 20 min = 240 calories (maximum # calories she can burn)

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
