Here's the scatter diagram for the high school graduation data from 1996 to 2005.

Next, I'll calculate the equation of the linear function that fits the points \( P_1(1, 2633) \) and \( P_2(8, 2935) \), and then use this model to estimate the number of graduates for 2010.

The table below shows the numbers of students, in thousands, who have graduated from high school for the years 1996 to 2005.

a. Using x = 0 to correspond to 1996, draw a scatter diagram of the data and write the equation of a linear function that fits the data on P₁(1, 2633) and P₂(8, 2935).

b. Use the model to estimate the expected number of high school graduates in 2010.

Analyze high school graduation data from 1996 to 2005 using a linear function model. Learn to create a scatter diagram, fit a linear function to the points P₁(1, 2633) and P₂(8, 2935), and estimate future graduates for the year 2010. Suitable for students in Grades 9-11.
