The number (in millions) of employees working in educational services in a particular country was 16.3 in 2005 and 18.6 in 2014. Let x = 5 correspond to the year 2005, and estimate the number of employees in 2007. Assume that the data can be modeled by a straight line and that the trend continues indefinitely. Use two data points to find such a line and then estimate the requested quantity. Let y represent the number of employees. The linear equation that best models the number of employees (in millions) is (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) In 2007, the number (in millions) of employees working in education services would be (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
