Business In the year 2005, the total domestic fish and shellfish catch was 9.7 billion pounds. In 2010, the total was 8.2 billion pounds. (Data from: U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.)
(a) Assuming the decline in fish and shellfish catch is linear, write an equation that gives the amount of the catch produced in year x , where x = 5 corresponds to the year 2005.
(b) Graph the equation for the years 2005 through 2010.
(c) Assuming the trend continues, estimate the total fish and shellfish catch in the year 2013.
