Example: Finding an Equation of a Linear Model by Using Data
Described in Words
The number of times airplanes have struck birds has increased approximately linearly from 2.6 thousand strikes in 1992 to 10.0 thousand strikes in 2011 (Source: Federal Aviation Administration). Let n be the number (in thousands) of bird strikes in the year that is t years since 1990. Find an equation of a linear model.

SolutionWe want to find an equation of a line that comes close to the data points.
Recall that it is not necessary to use two data points to find an equation, although it is often convenient and satisfactory to do so.
Note on the next slide that the red line does not come close to the other data points. However, the green line that passes through points (9, 249) and (12, 358) does. We will find the equation of the green line.

m
Substitute 36.33 for m in the equation n = mt + b:
n = 36.33t + b

Solution
To find b, substitute (9, 249) into the equation:
36.33(249 )9 b
249 326.97 b
77.97 b 249 326.97326.97 326.97b
Substitute –77.97 for b in the equation:

Constructing a Scattergram
Warning
It is a common error to skip creating a scattergram. However there are many benefits:
1. We can determine whether the data are approximately linearly related.2. If so, it can help us choose two good points with which to find a model.3. We can assess whether the data fits the model well.

Finding an Equation of a Linear Model
To find an equation of a linear model, given some data,
1. Create a scattergram of the data.
2. Determine whether there is a line that comes close to the data points. If so, choose two points (not necessarily data points) you can use to find the equation of a linear model.

Finding an Equation of a Linear Model
3. Find an equation of the line you identified in step 2.
4. Use a graphing calculator to verify the graph of your equation comes close to the points of the scattergram.

Linear Regression
Definition
Most graphing calculators have a built-in linear regression feature for finding an equation of a linear model.
A linear equation found by linear regression is called a linear regression equation, and the function described by the equation is called a linear regression function. The graph is called a regression line.
