The slope of the line is 5/3. Take points (0,0) and (3,5) for example. In order to get from one point to the other you must go 5 units up and 3 units to the left. Plugging this into rise/run you get 5/3
Y = 0.213x – 352.0 <span> represents this linear model shown in the data table. Plug in the values of x into the equation for a double check. Let's try 1980.
</span><span>y = 0.213(1980) – 352.0 </span>y = 69.74 which is closest to the 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.
