Question

Calm Beach Community College had 7402 full-time male students enrolled in 2013 and 6498 full-time male students enrolled in 2005.

Create a linear model for the enrollment of full-time male students at Calm Beach Community College.

Let x represent years after 2000, and E represent the enrollment of full-time male students

E =

Answer 1

(7402 - 6498)/(2013 - 2005) = 113 students per year

6498 = 113(5) + b

6498 = 565 + b

b = 5933

E = 113x + 5933
