Answer

a) the slope is $0.0417D=8.34$, the average increase in the dosage of the drug per year in age. b) $8.34$ mg

Work Step by Step

a) We have $c=0.0417D(a+1)=0.0417Da+0.0417D$ Here, the slope is $0.0417D=0.0417(200)=8.34$ and it represents the average increase in the dosage of the drug per year in age. b) Plugging in $D=200,a=0$ we get: $c=0.0417(200)(0+1)=8.34$ mg
