The relationship between the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit \(\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)\) and the temperature in degrees Celsius \(\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) is $$ F=\frac{9}{5} C+32 $$ a. Sketch the line with the given equation. b. What is the slope of the line? What does it represent? c. What is the \(F\) -intercept of the line? What does it represent?
Use the results of Exercise 63 to find an equation of a line with the \(x\) - and \(y\) -intercepts. $$ x \text { -intercept }-\frac{1}{2} ; y \text { -intercept } \frac{3}{4} $$
Moody's Corporation is the holding company for Moody's Investors Service, which has a \(40 \%\) share in the world credit-rating market. According to Company Reports, the total revenue (in billions of dollars) of the company is projected to be as follows \((x=0\) correspond to 2004\()\) : $$ \begin{array}{lccccc} \hline \text { Year } & 2004 & 2005 & 2006 & 2007 & 2008 \\ \hline \text { Revenue, } \boldsymbol{y} & 1.42 & 1.73 & 1.98 & 2.32 & 2.65 \\\ \hline \end{array} $$ a. Find an equation of the least-squares line for these data. b. Use the results of part (a) to estimate the rate of change of the revenue of the company for the period in question. c. Use the result of part (a) to estimate the total revenue of the company in 2010 , assuming that the trend continues.
