Modeling with Linear Functions · Exercise 48
Use the median home values in Indiana and Alabama (adjusted for inflation) shown in the table. Assume that the house values are changing linearly.
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline \text{Year} & \text{Indiana} & \text{Alabama} \\ \hline \text{1950} & \text{$37,700} & \text{$27,100} \\ \hline \text{2000} & \text{$94,300} & \text{$85,100} \\ \hline\end{array}
If we assume the linear trend existed before 1950 and continues after 2000, the two states’ median house values will be (or were) equal in what year? (The answer might be absurd.)
