no, if you are going to use the actual year for the value of x, I got
S(x) = 116700x - 232086700
then for 2005
S(2005) = 116700(2005) - 232086700
= 1896800
and S(2010) = 116700(2010) - 232086700
= 2480300
btw, the two given ordered pairs satisfy my equation
The table lists data regarding the average salaries of several professional athletes in the years 1991 and 2001.
year average salary
1991 $263,000
2001 $1,430,000
a)Use the data points to find a linear function that fits the data.
b) Use the function to predict the average salary in 2005 and 2010
Could someone please check my answers
a)S(x)=116,700x+146,300
b) in 2005 $1,780,100
in 2010 $2,363,600
