Question

the chart to the right shows a countrys annual egg production. model the data in the chart with a linear function, using the points (1994,51.7) and (1998,60.2). let x represent the year, where x = 0 represents 1994, x = 1 represents 1995, and so on, and let y represent the egg production (in billions). predict egg production in 2000.

the linear model for the data is \\(y = 2.125x + 51.7\\).
(type your answer in slope-intercept form. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. round to three decimal places as needed.)

what is the predicted egg production in 2000?

billion
(type an integer or a decimal. round to two decimal places as needed.)
