Question

Please help
the table lists data regarding the average salaries of several professional athletes in the years 1991 and 2001.
1991------262,000
2001-----1,360,000
a. use the data points to find a linear function that fits the data
b. use the funtion to predict the average salary in 2005 and 2010

a linear function that fits the data is S(x) =
(let x = the number of years since 1990 and let S = the average salary x years for 1990)

the predicted average salary for 2005 is--?
the predicted average salary for 2010 is--?
round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

S(1)=262,000
S(11)=1,360,000

slope=( 1360000-262000)/(11-1)=109800

point slope form

S(x)-262000=109800(x-1)
S(x)=109800x+152200

2005 is x=15, 2010 is x=20

S(15)=1,799,200
S(20)=2,348,200

Answer 2

rsvitale what is the answer to this part please I'm confuse by your repsonse
a linear function that fits the data is S(x) =
