Assuming that a linear model is appropriate, find the regression equation that uses percent as the dependent variable,
y, and the number of years since 1983 as the independent variable,
x. Round all constants to three places. Express the answer in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b. Do not include spaces in your answer.
