2) Corporations in the United States are doing quite well. The graph shows corporate profits, in billions of dollars, from 1988 through 2002. a) Interpret the point (3,520) in the context of this scenario. b) Find a linear model for the information shown in the graph. Clearly define the variables. Explain your reasoning or document your process so that another student can reproduce your strategy. Profits 1000 800 (billions of dollars) 600 A 200 -2-1 Corporate Profits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Years after 1990 c) Clearly explain the meaning of the slope in the context of the problem situation. d) Clearly explain the meaning of the vertical intercept in the context of the problem. cituation.
e) Use your algebraic model to find the corporate profit in 1998. f) Use the graph to show that your answer in (e) is reasonable. Write a sentence and indicate directly on the graph how the graph shows that your answer is reasonable. g) Use your algebraic model to find when the profit was $700 billion.
