The U. S. population (in millions) has grown approximately linearly since the year 2000. The population in 2000 was 282 million and in 2008 was 304 million. x equals 0 represents 2000 and x space equals space 8 represents 2008. Find the slope of the line defined by (0, 282) and (8, 304).
Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem.
