2. What is the use of a line graph? Take a look at the graph below. Study the graph and try to interpret the data by answering the questions that follows. Annual Enrollment in Gango Elementary School Number of Students 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 2011-2012 2012-2013 2013-2014 2014-2015 2015-2016 2016-2017 School Year Learning Task 3: Answer the following questions: 1. What is the title of the graph? 2. What does the scale in the y- axis represent? How about the x- axis? 3. In what school year did the school have the most number of students? 4. In what school year did the school have the least number of enrollees? 5. How many more students are there in school year 2016-2017 than in 2011-2012?

Reading a Tree's History: The analysis of tree rings can provide information about the environment in which it grew. Tree rings can be measured by counting each ring, and each ring is produced by a year of growth. The specific conditions for each year of growth can be determined by examining the relative width of each ring. Use the photograph to answer the questions. 1. Calculate approximately how old this tree was when it was cut down. 2. Infer: Areas A and B were both produced by four years of growth, yet they have different widths. What climatic condition might account for this difference? 3. Interpret Visuals: The area at C is blackened from a fire that apparently affected only one side of the tree. Describe how the tree grew after this fire. Formation of Wood: Most of what we call "wood" is actually secondary xylem produced by the vascular cambium. The xylem grows thicker year after year, layer on layer. As woody stems grow thicker, the older xylem near the center becomes denser.

Even as Americans increasingly view a college education as essential for success, many believe that a college education is becoming less available to qualified students. Exercises are based on the data displayed by the graph. (GRAPH CANNOT COPY) The graph shows that in $2000,45 \%$ of U.S. adults believed that most qualified students get to attend college. For the period from 2000 through 2010 , the percentage who believed that a college education is available to most qualified students decreased by approximately 1.7 each year. These conditions can be described by the mathematical model $$Q=-1.7 n+45$$ where $Q$ is the percentage believing that a college education is available to most qualified students $n$ years after 2000 a. Let $n=0,5,10,15,$ and $20 .$ Make a table of values showing five solutions of the equation. b. Graph the formula in a rectangular coordinate system. Suggestion: Let each tick mark on the horizontal axis, labeled $n$, represent 5 units. Extend the horizontal axis to include $n=25 .$ Let each tick mark on the vertical axis, labeled $Q,$ represent 5 units and extend the axis to include $Q=50$ c. Use your graph from part (b) to estimate the percentage of U.S. adults who will believe that a college education is available to most qualified students in 2018 . d. Use the formula to project the percentage of U.S. adults who will believe that a college education is available to most qualified students in 2018 .
