    We have weight of heart equal to 0.5 % of body weight.

    Let us take x as body weight and y as weight of heart.

    We have by equation of line

    y = mx+c, here c = 0 since weight of heart = 0 when body wight of mammal = 0

    m = 0.5/100 = 0.005

    Which means weight of heart for mammals, y = 0.005 * x

    In case of humans, we have x = 183 lbs

    So weight of heart of humans = 0.005 * 183 = 0.915 lbs
