Question 1129834: The number of pending corporate fraud cases stood at 545 at the begining of 2008 (t=0)
and was approximately linear.
a. Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A (0.545) and B (4,726).
b. Plot the line with the equation found in part a .
c. Use the equation found in part (a) to estimate the number of pending corporate fraud cases at the beginning of 2014.
And steps I will really appreciate that.

A, (0, 545)
B, (4, 726)
y=%28%28726-545%29%2F4%29t%2B545
highlight%28y=%28181%2F4%29t%2B545%29


Year 2014 is for t=6.
Pending cases for year 2014:
%28181%2F4%29%2A6%2B545------compute this.
