Question 1037599: Assume that the real-world context can be accurately modeled with a linear function.
Between 1900 and 2003, the life expectancy for men and women in the United States increased dramatically. For men, life expectancy increased from 48 to 75 years. For women, life expectancy increased from 51 to 80 years.†
Model female life expectancy F as a function of male life expectancy m. (Round your coefficients to two decimal places.)
F(m) =

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume that the real-world context can be accurately modeled with a linear function.

Model female life expectancy F as a function of male life expectancy m. (Round your coefficients to two decimal places.)
-----
Points:: (0,51) ; (3,80)
slope:: (80-51)/(3-0) = 29/3
intercept:: F(0) = 51
----
F(m) = (29/3)m + 51
F(m) = 9.67m + 51
