Your basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy (in calories) your body needs to function at rest. The Harris-Benedict formula is used to estimate the basal metabolic rate. There is one formula for adult males and another for adult females. In these formulas w is your body weight in pounds, h is your height in inches, a is your age in years, M = M(w, h, a) is the basal metabolic rate for adult males, and F = F(w, h, a) is the basal metabolic rate for adult females: M = 66 + 6.3w + 12.7h − 6.8a
F = 655 + 4.3w + 4.7h − 4.7a.
Use functional notation to express the basal metabolic rate of a 16 year old male that weighs 136 pounds and is 72 inches tall.

Calculate this value.

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

answer: 1475
