Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given no information other than what is in the question, a linear function that would fit this data would be:

y = -0.16154x + 327 where y is the barrels of oil, in millions of barrels, and x is the year.

Calculate the slope of the line from the data (the barrels of oil are in millions):

Rise = -2.1

Run = 13

Rise/Run, or slope = -0.16154

The y-intercept was claculated from the point (2000,4) and is equal to 327
