Let E represent the life expectancy in year t and let t represent the number of years since 1992.
:
Find the slope
In 1992; x1=0 and y1=72.1
In 1997; x2=5 and y2=74.4
:
Find the slope (m) using the slope equation: m =
m = = = .46
therefore:
The Linear function E(t) that fits the data is.
E(t)= .46t + 72.1
