You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=-1777(6)+27153
y=16,491
------------
y=-1777(9)+27153
y=11160
-------------------------
9383=-1777x+27153
1777x=17770
x=10
Gun deaths will be 9383 in 2010..

The function H described by H(x)=2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height,in centimeters,of a woman whose humerus is x cm long.
Predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 38 cm long.
-----------
H(38) = 2.75*38+71.48 = 175.98 cm

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Making up a formula doesn't mean anyone can predict the future.
---------------
•Homicide: 11,624 / 39% of All Fatalities
•Suicide: 16,750 / 57% of All Fatalities
•Unintentional Death (Accidental): 649 / 2% of All Fatalities
-------------
A total of 28843
-----------------------
A sad, but interesting, fact is that homocide is the #1 cause of death of pregnant women in the US (not necessarily from guns).
