Answer:
(a) y = 7/100x + 2.5
(b) the slope is very horizontally shaped which means the number of graduates over the timeframe shown remains relatively unchanged
(c) the y-intercept would be around 2.5 million which means in 1999 that is the number of graduates there were
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the coordinates from '05 and '07 to find a slope of approximately 7/100
I plugged that value into y=mx+b using the point (5, 2.99) to get the following equation:
(a) y = 7/100x + 2.5
(b) the slope is very horizontally shaped which means the number of graduates over the timeframe shown remains relatively unchanged
(c) the y-intercept would be around 2.5 million which means in 1999 that is the number of graduates there were
