Show ALL WORK and ANSWERS on the exam A national financial study tracks the growth of average household credit card debt over several decades.Let: y represents the average credit card debt in dollars. x represents the number of years after 1990, so: x = 0,    corresponds to 1990, x = 4,    corresponds to 1994, x = 10,  corresponds to 2000, x = 13,  corresponds to 2003, and so on. From one of the more detailed charts, the researcher relies on two trustworthy data points (all other data were incomplete or estimated and cannot be used): In 1990, the average household credit card debt was $4,275. In 2008, the average household credit card debt had increased to $11,940. This gives her the two ordered pairs:  (0,4275) and (18,11940) Your Tasks Use the two ordered pairs to create a linear equation that models average credit card debt as a function of the year x .Round the slope to the nearest tenth. Use your model to estimate the average credit card debt in 2003.Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Show ALL WORK and ANSWERS on the exam   A meteorologist is tracking the heights of weather balloons over time to study atmospheric conditions. She records the altitude (in meters) of several balloons at different hours. For a special experiment, she releases two balloons simultaneously at hour 3 and tracks their altitudes: Balloon A reaches 120 meters. Balloon B reaches 250 meters. She plots these two points on a graph where the x-axis represents the hour and the y-axis represents the balloon altitude. Your Task Identify the coordinates of the two points. Determine whether the plotted points define y as a function of x. Provide a brief interpretation of what this means in the context of the balloon experiment.
