Plot the number of visits on the vertical axis
Plot the date in years on the horizontal axis
--------------------
Average rate of change = { change in number of vists in billions ] / [ years passed ]
{{{ ( 1.4 - 1.2 ) / ( 2004 - 1999 ) }}}
{{{ .2 / 5 = .4 / 10 }}}
{{{ .4 / 10 = .04 }}}
{{{ .04*10^9 = 40*10^6 }}}
