The number of words in some code increased approximately lineraly from 1.7 million words in 1955 to 7.9 million words in 2005. predict the number of words in the code in 2035

The number of words in the code in 2035 will be 11.62 million words

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----the number of years since 1955

y ----> the number of words in some code in millions

we have the points

(0,1.7) and (50,7.9)

Find the slope m

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

we have

substitute

Predict the number of words in the code in 2035

substitute in the equation

therefore

The number of words in the code in 2035 will be 11.62 million words

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )
