question 345

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The graph shows the number of organ transplants y in a certain country for the years 2005 to 2010 where x represents the number of years since 2005.
a. Use the points (1, 114) and (4, 162) to write a linear model for these data. Round the slope to one Decimal place and the y-intercept to the nearest whole unit.
b) Use the model to approximate the number of organ transplants performed in 2012.

• A) a. \(y = 16.0 x + 98\) b. approximately 210
• B) a. \(y = 16.0 x + 114\) b. approximately 306
• C) a. \(y = 16.0 x + 98\) b. approximately 290
• D) a. \(y = 16.0 x + 114\) b. approximately 226
