1. In a case study in which the maximal rates of oxygen consumption (in ml/s) of nine species of wild African mammals (Taylor et al., 1980) were plotted against body mass (in kg) on a log-log plot, it was found that the data points fell on a straight line with slope approximately equal to 0.8 and vertical-axis intercept approximately equal to 0.105. Find an equation that relates maximal oxygen consumption and body mass
