Write a linear model for this question. Takeoff and landing will take a fixed amount of time. Actualtravel in the air will take time proportional to the distance traveled. Think about which of thevariables (time and distance) is the independent variable, and identify the slope and intercept withtheir units.2. Use the data in the quotation to estimate the two constants in your linear model.arrow_forwardLarger animals tend to have slower heart rates, and smaller animals tend to have larger heart rates. If we let H represent the heart rate of an animal (in beats per minute), and W represent the weight of an animal (in pounds), then the equation H = 210 W-5 . models a relationship between H and W. Using this equation, what heart rate (in beats per minute) do we expect for an animal that weighs 100,000 pounds? beats per minute How much would we expect an animal to weigh (in pounds) if its heart rate is 42 beats per minute? poundsarrow_forward
