Question

The chart to the right shows a country’s annual egg production model the data in the chart with a linear function using the points (1995,51.7) and (1999,60.5) let x represent the year where x=0 represents 1995,x=1 represents 1996, and so on and let y represent the egg production in billions predict egg production in 2001 ( the linear model for the data is)? ( the chart numbers). 1995-51.7) 1996- 52.6) 1997- 54.4) 1998- 57.3) 1999- 60.5) 2000- 64.1) 2001- 69.8) the linear model for the data is? (Type answer in slope intercept form use integers or decimals for any numbers In the equation round to three decimal places as needed.

Answer 1

The slope is (60.5 - 51.7) / 4 = 8..8/4 = 2.2

y = 2.2x + 51.7

2001 ---> x = 6

2.2 * 6 + 51.7 = 13.2 + 51.7 = 64.9
