Answer:

m= y/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the slope (m) is to determine 2 points then divide the difference of y-coordinates with the x-coordinates.

The equation will look like this:

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

When a function goes through the origin(0, 0), that means the line doesn't have c variable, the equation of the line will be as simple as y=mx

Then the equation to find the slope(m) will be:

y=mx

m=y/x

You can directly divide y-coordinate with x-coordinate to find the slope.

Just use derivatives:

f'(x)= .48x-.96 = 0, x = 2, since the coeff of x^2 is +, this is a minimum

x=0 1989, so x = 2 is 1991! :)

The sum of the numbers is 7.69 * 10^6

<h3>How to evaluate the sum?</h3>

The expression is given as:

(1.54 times 10 superscript 6 baseline) (6.15 times 10 superscript 6 baseline)

Rewrite properly

(1.54 * 10^6) + (6.15 * 10^6)

Factor out 10^6

(1.54 + 6.15) * 10^6

Evaluate the sum

7.69 * 10^6

Hence, the sum of the numbers is 7.69 * 10^6
