Mid point Question

Question

A poverty threshold represents the minimum annual household income for a family not to be considered poor. In 1995, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $ 15 comma 877.$15,877. In 2005, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $ 19 comma 608.$19,608. Assuming poverty thresholds increase in a straight-line fashion, use the midpoint formula to estimate the poverty threshold of a family of four with two children under the age of 18 in 2000.

 

Answer 1
