You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=2x+33 [plug-in the values for x and solve for y]
\n" ); document.write( "y=2(0)+33 [x=0 in 1999; solve for y]
\n" ); document.write( "y=33Million
\n" ); document.write( "Create a table of values:
\n" ); document.write( "x........................y
\n" ); document.write( "1999(0)......33M
\n" ); document.write( "2000(1)......35M
\n" ); document.write( "2001(2)......37M
\n" ); document.write( "2002(3)......39
\n" ); document.write( "2003(4).......41
\n" ); document.write( "2004(5).......43

\n" ); document.write( "a) Going by the equation, how many people with HIV/AIDS were there in 2002?
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+33 [plug-in x=3 (2002) and solve for y]
\n" ); document.write( "y-2(3)+33
\n" ); document.write( "y=6+33
\n" ); document.write( "y=39Million cases
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) If it continues, in what year will the number of cases reach 60 million?
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+33 [Let y=60M and solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "60=2x+33
\n" ); document.write( "60-33=2x
\n" ); document.write( "27=2x
\n" ); document.write( "27/2=2x/2
\n" ); document.write( "13.5=x or year 2012.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".c) How much do the number of people with HIV/AIDS increase or decrease each year?
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope to solve.
\n" ); document.write( "m=2 or m=2/1
