Question

suppose the percent of households y with internet subscription from the years 2016 to 2019 can be approximated by the linear equation y = 2.05x + 73.50, where x is the number of years after 2010.
a. use this equation or a graph of it to complete the ordered pair (8, ).
b. write a sentence explaining the meaning of the answer found in part (a).
c. if this trend continues, predict the percent of households with an internet subscription in 2024?
d. explain any issues with your answer to part c.
a. complete the ordered pair

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 8\) into the equation \(y=2.05x + 73.50\)

$$y=2.05\times8+73.50$$

Step2: Calculate \(2.05\times8\)

$$2.05\times8=(2 + 0.05)\times8=2\times8+0.05\times8=16+0.4 = 16.4$$

Step3: Calculate \(y\)

$$y=16.4+73.50=89.9$$

Answer:

The ordered pair is \((8,89.9)\)
