The equation f(x)= -1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths, in the U.S. x years after 2000, that is, x=3 corresponds to 2003, x=4 corresponds to 2004, and so on...
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2007.
\n" ); document.write( "f(4) = -1777*4 + 27153 = 20045
\n" ); document.write( "f(7) = -1777*7 + 27153 = 14714
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In what year will the number of gun deaths be 11,160?
\n" ); document.write( "11,160 = -1777x + 27153 ; x=9
\n" ); document.write( "Year = 2009
