Question 1129820
 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).
c = mt + k
slope = m = (726-545)/(4-0) = 45.25
c(0) = 545
Equation:: c = 45.25t + 545
-----------------------------------------------
b. Plot the line with the equation found in part a .
Note:: If t = 0 for 2008, t = 6 for 2014
{{{graph(0,10,0,850,45.25x+545)}}}
c. Use the equation found in part (a) to estimate the number of pending corporate fraud cases at the beginning of 2014.
Ans::c(6) = 816.53
