The life expectancy , measured in years, of a child born  years after 2003 is given by

.
Identify the slope, and explain in practical terms what it means.

What will be an ideal response?


The slope is 0.18 year per year.  For children born after 2003,  each 1-year increase in birth date adds 0.18 year to life expectancy.
