Sagot :
to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use the ones provided in the table above.
[tex]\begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{millions}{population}&year\\ \cline{1-2} 161&1950\\ 291&2000\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}\hspace{5em} (\stackrel{x_1}{161}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1950})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{291}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2000}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2000}-\stackrel{y1}{1950}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{291}-\underset{x_1}{161}}} \implies \cfrac{ 50 }{ 130 }\implies \cfrac{5}{13}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1950}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{13}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{161}) \\\\\\ y-1950=\cfrac{5}{13}x-\cfrac{805}{13}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{13}x-\cfrac{805}{13}+1950\implies y=\cfrac{5}{13}x+\cfrac{24545}{13}[/tex]
