What does a person who has a body mass index of 23.0 and is 1.65 m tall weigh? b. What is the body mass index of a person who weighs 95 kg and is 1.90 m tall? c. How tall is a person who weighs 65 kg and has a body mass index of 25.0?

Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
