Use the linear function to predict the life expectancy of an American man born in 2020. Find the slope of 0.215. The slope indicates that for each subsequent birth year, a man’s life expectancy is increasing by 0.215 years. Use the point-slope form to write the equation (model).y – 70.0 = 0.215(x – 20)Change to slope-intercept formy = 0.215x + 65.7 Life expectancy of men born in 2020f(60) = 0.215(60) + 65.7 = 78.6 years Blitzer, Intermediate Algebra, 5e – Slide #8 Section 2.5

  11. Modeling Public Tuition Public Tuition: In 2005, the average cost of tuition and fees at public four-year colleges was $6130, and in 2010 it was $7610. Note that the known value for 2008 is $6530. Solution: The line passes through (2005, 6.1) and (2010, 7.6). Find the slope. Thus, the slope of the line is 296; tuition and fees on average increased by $296/yr. Substitute 5 for 2005, 10 for 2010, and 8 for 2008. Figure not in book
