CRIMINOLOGY City growth and the number of burglaries are related by a linear equation. Records show that 575 burglaries were reported in a year when the local population was 77,000 and that the rate of increase in the number of burglaries was 1 for every 100 new residents.

a. Using the variables p for population and B for burglaries, write an equation (in slope-intercept form) that police can use to predict future burglary statistics.


b. How many burglaries can be expected when the population reaches 110,000?
