Question 1150073: In 1994, the moose population in a park was measured to be 5500. By 1999, the population was measured again to be 9700. If the population continues to change linearly, find an equation for the moose population, P, as a function of t, the years since 1986.
What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2005?

Equation for the line with two points (8,5500) and (13,9700), for points (t,P).

Year 2005 corresponds to t=19.
