The table gives the median household income (in 2005 year) for two cities in various years. Let x represent the median household income for citizens of city A and y represent the corresponding median household income for citizens of city B. Find a linear model that expresses the median household income for citizens in city B as a function of the median household income for citizens of city B. Interpret the slope of the linear model. Round numerical values in your answer to three decimal places.
