Respuesta :
So you would look for years since 1997. That would be 8 years. Plug in 8 for x, and you get y = 0.864(8) + 31.15 which is equal to 38.062
I got that because I got this: 0.864*8 = 6.912, and then I added it to 31.15
Hope this helps.

[tex] y = 0.864x + 31.15
Remember, x = 0 for 1997
0.864*8 + 31.15 = 38.062
Answer: 38.062
