Modeling Linear Relationships This activity will help you meet these educational goals: You will draw conclusions about a population of people in the United States modeled by a linear or an exponential equation. The table shows the growth of US population over a six-year period, beginning in 2010. Use this information to answer the questions that follow. Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Population of United States (in millions) 309.35 311.66 313.97 316.28 318.59 320.90 323.21 Part A If we assume that 2010 is t = 0, what is the initial value and what does it mean in this context? Space used (includes formatting): 21 / 15000 Part B Does this data best fit a linear or an exponential model? Explain how you came to this conclusion. Space used (includes formatting): 0 / 15000 Part C Question Enter the correct answer in the box. What equation best models this data? (Use y to represent the population in millions, and t to represent the year, assuming that 2010 is t = 0.) Part D Question Plot the values from the table, and draw the graph for the equation you created in part C of this task. Your graph should
