When that equation is graphed, it produces a straiught line. The slope
of the line is 5, and the line intersects the y-axis at y=6.
Percent increase from 2000 to 2001 is 12% and from 2001 to 2002 is 12.6%. Thus period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that,
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2000 = 3250
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2001 = 3640
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2002 = 4100
<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2000 to 2001:</u></em>


<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2001 to 2002:</u></em>

As we can see 12% < 12.6%
So period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.
Domain: all x values between the ends of a line on the x- axis
Range: all y values between the ends of a line on the y-axis
A is false but R is true (the mean of the last 3 values is not 8 since x=7)
