The equation y=1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the United States x years after 2000m that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=3 corresponds to 2003, x=4 corresponds to 2004, and so on.
Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2009.
x = 4 in 2004
y = 1777*4 + 27153
y = 34624
----------
x = 9 in 2009
y = 1777*9 + 27153
y = 43146
---------
In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?
7606 = 1777x + 27153
1777x = -19547
x = -11
--> 1989
