Answer:
y = 2 · 3 x + 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Analysis: Number of female representatives in 1985 = 22
This can be represented by the point (0,22).
Number of representatives in 2005 = 68.
This can be represented by the point (2205-1985,68)
= (20,68)
Slope of the line : [tex]\frac{68-22}{20-0} =\frac{46}{20} =\frac{23}{10} =[/tex] 2 · 3
∴ Equation of the line : y = mx + c
⇒ 22 = 2 · 3 (0) + c
⇒ C = 22
∴ y = 2 · 3 x + 22
