A scatter plot was made to show the number
of homes in a town based on the year. A
trend line was drawn on the graph with an
equation of y = 84x + 625 where x is the
number of years since 1995 and y is the total
number of homes in the fown.
Predict the number of homes in the
town in 2000

There will be 1045 homes in the town by the year of 2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it can be determined that

The equation given is y = 84x + 625.

The variables x and y are represented as :

Now, we need to predict the number of homes in the  town in the year 2000.

We know that, x is the number of years since 1995 to 2000.

∴ The value of x = No.of years from 1995 to 2000

⇒ x = 5 years

To calculate the y value :

Substitute x=5 in the given equation.

⇒ y = 84(5) + 625

⇒ y = 1045 homes.

∴ There will be 1045 homes in the town by the year of 2000.
