The ordered pairs below give the median sales prices y (in thousands of dollars) of new homes sold in a neighborhood from 2009 through 2016. (2009, 179.4) (2011, 191.0) (2013, 202.6) (2015, 214.9) (2010, 185.4) (2012, 196.7) (2014, 208.7) (2016, 221.4) A linear model that approximates the data is y=5.96t+125.5,9t16, where t represents the year, with t=9 corresponding to 2009. Plot the actual data and the model on the same graph. How closely does the model represent the data?
