After 1985. Write a function that models the percentage, y, of whites who are overweight x years after 1985.


A) Hispanics: y=0.47x+22.8y = 0.47 x + 22.8
Whites: y=29.2x+0.17\mathrm { y } = 29.2 \mathrm { x } + 0.17
B) Hispanics: y=22.8x+0.47y = 22.8 x + 0.47
Whites: y=0.17x+29.2y = 0.17 x + 29.2
C) Hispanics: y=23.27xy = 23.27 x
Whites: y=29.37x\mathrm { y } = 29.37 \mathrm { x }
D) Hispanics: y+0.47x=22.8y + 0.47 x = 22.8
Whites: y+29.2x=0.17\mathrm { y } + 29.2 \mathrm { x } = 0.17
