Answer:

[tex]r=160-12m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Heart rate will be represented by [tex]r[/tex], minutes will be represented by [tex]m[/tex].

Here's the equation I came up with:

[tex]r=160-12m[/tex]

We can also rearrange it to look like a point-slope equation. Either way works, it's the same equation.

[tex]r=-12m+160[/tex]

This works because her heart rate is decreasing by a constant value. The initial heart rate is like the y-intercept, while the amount that it decreases by is the slope.

I hope this helps!
