Between 1990 and 2013 , there was a drop in violent crime and a spike in the prison population in the United States. The bar graph shows the number of violent crimes per $100,000$ people and the number of imprisonments per $100,000$ people for six selected years from 1990 through 2013. (GRAPH CAN NOT COPY) a. Based on the information in the graph, it appears that there was a year when the number of violent crimes per $100,000$ Americans was the same as the number of imprisonments per $100,000$ Americans. According to the graph, between which two years did this occur? b. The data can be modeled by quadratic and linear functions. Violent crime rate $y=0.6 x^{2}-28 x+730$ Imprisonment rate $-15 x+y=300$ In each function, $x$ represents the number of years after 1990 and $y$ represents the number per $100,000$ Americans. Solve a nonlinear system to determine the year described in part (a). Round to the nearest year. How many violent crimes per $100,000$ Americans and how many imprisonments per $100,000$ Americans were there in that year?
