12.) The table below shows pork production in China from 2000 to 2007. Use a calculator to find the line of best fit. b. Use your linear model to predict how many metric tons of pork will be produced in 2025.
c. Use your linear model to predict when production is likely to reach 100,000 metric tons.
[Year: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
Production(metric tons): 40,475, 42,010, 43,413, 45,331, 47,177, 50,254, 52,407, 54,491.]

look at the bottom one, the one that says "linear" http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=best+fit+line++%280%2C40%2C475%29%2C+%281%2C42%2C010%29%2C%282%2C43%2C413%29%2C%283%2C+45%2C331%29%2C+%284%2C47%2C177%29%2C%285%2C+50%2C254%29%2C%286%2C+52%2C407%29%2C%287%2C+54%2C491%29&dataset=
