Use the information given to build a linear equation model, then use the equation to respond.

Cost of college: For the years 2000 to 2008, the cost of tuition and fees per semester (in constant dollars) at a public 4-yr college can be approximated by the equation y = 386x + 3500, where y represents the cost in dollars and x = 0 represents the year 2000. Use the equation to find: (a) the cost of tuition and fees in 2010 and (b) the year this cost will exceed $9000.
