y= -1777x + 27,153
\n" ); document.write( "2000 corresponds to x=0
\n" ); document.write( "2001 corresponds to x=1, etc.
\n" ); document.write( "y= -1777x + 27,153 [Substitute the year (x) into the equatiom and solve for the y-value]
\n" ); document.write( "y= -1777(6) + 27,153 [Substitute \"6\" for \"x\"]
\n" ); document.write( "y=16,491
\n" ); document.write( "y= -1777(8) + 27,153 [Substitute \"8\" for \"x\"]
\n" ); document.write( "y=12,937
\n" ); document.write( "11,160=-1777(x) + 27,153 [Since the amount \"y\" is given, substitute \"11,160\" solve for the x-term (year)]
\n" ); document.write( "11,160-27,153=-1777(x) + 27,153
\n" ); document.write( "-15,993=-1777x
\n" ); document.write( "-15993/-1777=-1777x/-1777
\n" ); document.write( "x=year 9 or 2009\r
