Answer

(a) $c=8.34a+8.34$ The slope represents rate of change of dosage for a child according the age. (b) $c=8.34mg$

Work Step by Step

(a) $c=0.0417D(a+1)$ if $D=200$ $c=8.34(a+1)=8.34a+8.34$ The slope is $8.34$ and it represents rate of change of dosage for a child according the age. (b) For a newborn age is considered as $0$, so we can calculate: $c=8.34\times0+8.34=8.34mg$
