- The US Department of Health conducted a survey for the years 1985-2018 regarding the use of cigarettes. Datafrom those years indicate that the linear function y = −0.47x + 47.1 gives an estimate of the 18-25 age group using cigarettes. The variable x represents the number of years since 1985 and y represents the percentage of 18-25 year old individuals using cigarettes. Explain what the −0.47 represents in terms of time and the percentage of 18-25 year old individuals using cigarettes.arrow_forwardsuppose f is a linear function with f (6)= 18.04.
