<PRE><B>Question 53358</B>
a. Write the equation of the line through (0,32) ands (10,60) to model the growth of the direct deposit.
Need &quot;m&quot; and &quot;b&quot; of Percent = m(year)+b
m=[60-32]/[10-0]=14/5
b=32 because of the point (0,32)
EQUATION: y=(14/5)x+32
-----------------
b. Use the graph on the next page to predict the year in which 100% of all workers will receive direct deposit of their paychecks.
100 = (14/5)(year)+32
68=(14/5)(year)
year=24.28; round down to 24
The year will be 1994+24 or 2018
Cheers,
