Jose weighed himself on Monday and he weighed 170 pounds. Two weeks later, he weighed 165 pounds. a. Write a linear function in the form y = mx + b to model Jose's weight loss each week, where x is the number of weeks and y is Jose's weight. Assume a constant weight loss over the two weeks.
b. If Jose continues to lose weight at the same rate, how much will he weigh after 5 weeks?
