The population of a rare species of flightless birds in 2003 was estimated to be 181,743 birds. By 2020, the number of birds had grown to 225,751. (a) Assuming the population grows linearly, find the linear model, y = mx + b, representing the population x years since 2000. y = Number x + Number (round m and b to 3 decimal places) (b) Using the linear model from part (a), estimate the population in 2025. Number (round to the nearest whole number) The population of a rare species of flightless birds in 2003 was estimated to be 181,743 birds. By 2020, the number of birds had grown to 225,751.
