Linea Decline

[joselynnnn]

Suppose that 131,760 bachelor degrees in education were awarded in 1999 and 113,700 were in 2007. If the number of bachelor degrees in education continues to decline linearly, then estimate how many bachelor degrees will be awarded in 2013?

Well, do it!

f(x) = a + b*x
f(1999) = 131760
f(2007) = 113700

Find 'a' and 'b'.

Evaluate f(2013).
