Question

Pls help me ima mark BRAINLIST

Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the horizontal axis notes the years since 2000. This means that each increase in the x axis increases the year by 1. Thus, it means that at x=1, it is 2001, at x=2, it is 2002. In other words, in 2016, x=16.

We can just put this number into the equation:

y=1.5(16)-1

y=24-1

y=23

Answer 2

Answer:

24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Year 2000 would be 1, so year 2016 would be 17

Your equation is 1.5x - 1, and since we have x = 17, we simply plug it in:

1.5(17) - 1

25.5 - 1

24.5 is our estimated population using the line of best fit.
