Answer 3

you basically just have to find the slope, do you know what this is?

Answer 4

take any 2 points on the table, find the slope. remember x is years after 2000

Answer 5

Is that the problem you have in the screenshot? If so I think it walks you through the problem.

Answer 6

23 is my prob

Answer 7

pick two points first

Answer 8

randomly?

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Any 2 points from the table.

Answer 11

9.71, and 9.97

Answer 12

points have an x and a y coordinate. those aren't points

Answer 13

well also list the years (y-coordinates)

Answer 14

(x,y) is how u list a coordinate.

Answer 15

oh yeah, yeah, got that

Answer 16

(9.71, 9.97) like this?

Answer 17

Yup now list the other coordinate.

Answer 18

the years?

Answer 19

Well we meant like 2 coordinates such as (x,y) and (x,y). You only listed one coordinate.

Answer 20

no she did not list a coordinate,
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we are looking for where x1 and x2 are x coordinates and y1 and y2 are their y-coordinates respectively

Answer 21

So, what does" let X be the number of years since 2000." mean?

Answer 22

Is 2000 my other coordinate for x? As in, x1 and x2

Answer 23

Oh, nvm I already got it!

Answer 24

Well so when it says let x be the number of years since 2000, it refers to the x coordinates in the table.

Answer 25

y=1/5x+4

Answer 26

Is what it came out to be

Answer 27

Just making sure is this the table? vvvvv

Answer 28

Yes

Answer 29

Ok let me walk you through
pick
2004, 9.97
and
2006, 9.71
when we write this as x is years after 2000
4,9.97 and 6, 9.71
now slope formula
\[(9.97-9.71)/(4-6)\]
simplify this slope value and then use point slope form or solve for the y-intercept.
lmk if u need more clarification

Answer 30

Just to clarify, x years after 2000 means how ever many years after 2000. For example for 2004, that is 4 years after 2000 so the x coordinate would be 4.

Answer 31

Yayyyy mdobbs changed her pfp

Answer 32

You have to find the slope, and take any 2 points on the table if im correct.
