Question 1118554: The figure below shows how the price of Amazon's Kindle has decreased over time. The green line is a trend line. (You can check that the hash marks on the horizontal axis are one-month intervals.)

The trend line estimates that the price was $432 in November 2007 and $80 in September 2011. (That is an interval of 46 months.) Find the formula for the price, in dollars, as a linear function of the time t in months since November 2007. (Round numerical values to two decimal places.)

Question 1118553: Suppose that you are at the base of a hill and see a sign that reads "Elevation 3700 Feet." The road you are on goes straight up the hill to the top, which is 3 horizontal miles from the base. At the top, you see a sign that reads "Elevation 4300 Feet." What is the growth rate in your elevation with respect to horizontal distance as you drive up the road?

Use V for elevation in feet and h for horizontal distance in miles, and find a formula that gives your elevation as a linear function of your horizontal distance from the base of the hill.

Question 1118552: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor. It is a measure of the relative price of a typical market basket of goods in the given year. The percentage increase in the CPI from one year to the next gives one measure of the annual rate of inflation. The following table shows the CPI in December of the given year. Here, C represents the Consumer Price Index, and t is the time in years since December 2005.
t 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
C 196.8 201.8 210.0 210.2 215.9 219.2 225.7 229.6
In the figure on the left, we have plotted the data, and in the figure on the right, we have added the trend line, which is given by
C = 4.55t + 197.72.

Determine the slope of the trend line.
