You did not get the year 2010 right, you forgot about the 27, 153
2004: y= -1777*4-27,153
The equation y= - 1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the United States x years after 2000 that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000, x =3 corresponds to 2003, x = 4, and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2008, in what year will the number of gun deaths be 9383
gun deaths 2004??
gun deaths 2008???
the predicted number of gun deaths will be 9383 in the year 2010
I got the year 2010 by 1777=17770
x = 10 so 2000 plus 10 years = 2010
but I can't figure how to get 2004 & 2008
