If the number of domestic violence arrests increased linearly, then the number of increases per year would be (123 - 106)/(2009 - 2006) = 7 cases/year. Hence, in 2013, there would be about 123 + 4(7) = 151 cases.

However, assuming a linear function is not very realistic, since many factors can change it. Oftentimes when you see some data and a future "projection" there will be a wide range of values, instead of one estimate (151 in this case).
