1. Given any two data points with each consisting of the year and its corresponding tuition and fees, describe in detail how you would find a linear function that models the data shown in the table. Be sure to clearly define and interpret all components involved in your model.
Each data point creates an ordered pair, (x,y) where the x-value represents the year and the y-value represents the corresponding tuition and fees value. Use the two-point form of an equation of a line to create the linear relationship:
Where and are the coordinates of the two data points used
