The dropdown box is asking whether its decreasing or increasing.

The table lists the annual cost (in dollars) of tuition and fees at private four-year colleges for the selected years.

No, they appear to lie on a curved line. O C. No, they appear to lie in a V-shape. O D. Yes, they appear to lie on a straight line (b) Let t-0 correspond to the year 2000. Use the points(0,16077) and (13,30098) to determine a linear equation that models the data. What does the slope of the graph of the equation indicate? The linear equation is C Type an expression using t as the variable. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to the nearest tenth as needed) by about Sper yea. The slope of the graph indicates that the annual costs of tuition and fees at the colleges is Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) (c) Discuss the accuracy of using this equation to estimate the cost of the colleges in 2025. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. Because the points all lie close to or on a line, an estimate would be accurate. An estimate of the cost of the colleges in 2025 is $ (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) B. Because the points all lie on a curve or V-shape, an estimate would not be accurate. C. Because the points are scattered at random, an estimate would not be accurate.
