• Each book costs $1.

• $1 for 3 books.

The population of the town is given by the function y = 60,000 - 500x, where y is the number of inhabitants and x is the time in years. What is the population of the town after 9 years?

• 55,500

• 55,000

• 54,500

• D:54,000

• linear

• exponential

• quadratic

A person travels by car.  They record their miles driven in a data table.  Calculate the linear regression equation of this data.

• y = 61.93x - 1.79

• y = -1.79x + 61.93

• y = 0.016x + 0.03

• y = 0.03x + 0.016

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79. According to the model, the slope can be interpreted as:

• After 0 hours of driving, they went 61.93 miles.

• They drove at a speed of 61.93 miles per hour.

• They drove 61.93 miles total.

• They drove 61.93 hours total.

What is the slope in the equation y=2x + 3?

• 2

• 3

• 5

• Cannot be Determined
