The graph above shows New Mexico population from 1960 to 2000. Use the two points ( 10, 1 milliion) and (40, 1.8 millions) to find the point-slope form of the equation of the line that models population of the State of New Mexico y, x years after 1960. ( 4 points)
Calculate the NM population in 2018 using the equation you found and compare with actual population. (2 points)
Predict the NM population in 2050. ( 2 points)
