he equation

y=-1777x%2B27153 can used to predict the number of y
gun deaths in the United States x years after+2000

x=0+corresponds to 2000,

x=5+corresponds to 2005,

x=9 corresponds to 2009

so, in 2005 will be:

y=-1777x%2B27153

y=-1777%2A5%2B27153

y=-8885x%2B27153

y=18268

in 2009 will be:

y=-1777x%2B27153

y=-1777%2A9%2B27153

y=-15993x%2B27153

y=11160
