Question

Richard researched the number of students enrolled at a school 1984. The correlating linear model is shown below, where x represents the number of years after 1984, and y represents the number of students enrolled.
Y=1,296+864x
Which of the following is true about the linear model?
A. there were 1,296 students enrolled in 1984
B.there were 2,160 students enrolled in 1984.
C.there were 864 students enrolled in 1984.
D.there were 432 students enrolled in 1984

Answer 1

\(x\) is equal to \(0\) in 1984, so you need to evaluate your equation when \(x = 0\).

Answer 2

Oh okay so when I plug in 0 as x I get 1296

Answer 3

And that is your answer.

Answer 4

Thank you!
