For patient TRF, data for inulin dosages (in Units) versus blood glucose, BG, measurements (in milligrams BG per deciliter, mg/dl) are listed in the table below. It can be seen that the data conforms linearly such that
y = mx + b. The slope, m, and intercept, b, are then calculated to give an extrapolatable functional linear equation
