SOLUTION: Suppose that from 2020 to 2060, the number of females in the U.S. under the age of 18, in millions, can be modeled by
N = 0.150x + 38.4
Where x is the number of years after 2

Question 1203729: Suppose that from 2020 to 2060, the number of females in the U.S. under the age of 18, in millions, can be modeled by
N = 0.150x + 38.4
Where x is the number of years after 2020.
(a) Viewing N as a function of x, what is the slope m of the graph of this function?
(b) What does the model predict the population of females under 18 (in millions) will be in 2040?
