Explanation:
We were given that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(2007,258) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(2014,368) \end{gathered}[/tex]
a)
The ordered pair (2014, 368) means that in the year 2014, there were 368 million connections
b)
Slope
[tex]\begin{gathered} slope,m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ slope,m=\frac{368-258}{2014-2007} \\ slope,m=\frac{110}{7}=15.714285714285714285714285714286 \\ slope,m=15,714,285.7\approx16,000,000 \\ slope,m=16,000,000 \\ \\ \therefore slope,m=16,000,000 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope is 16 million
c)
The slope implies that there are additional about 16 million subscriber connections every year
