: what is the slope between (1997, 1.26) and (2006, 2.31)
y=0.15x+0.79
The year 1997 would be represented by x=1 for example as it is the first year in the study. Similarly, 2005 would be year 9, or x=9
what year would be represented by x=4
What x value represents the year 2018

Answer by richwmiller(17219)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope is change of y over the change in x
(2.31-1.26)/(2006-1997)
1997=x=1
2005=x=9
x=4=2005-5
x=9+13 =2018
