Solve the problem.The table shows the number of new AIDS cases (in thousands) in the U.S. in five consecutive years.Let x = 1 correspond to 1988 and let f(x) be the number of new AIDS cases (in thousands) in the U.S. in year x. Using the points  and  the following linear function is obtained to model the data:  What does the slope, 3.825,

indicate?

What will be an ideal response?


The slope 3.825 indicates that the number of new AIDS cases increased by about 3825 each year between 1988 and 1992.
