80. The number of drug prescriptions increased between 2000 and 2010 (see graph). Let x represent the number of years since 2000. Let y represent the number of prescriptions (in millions). Number of Drug Prescriptions (4, 3373) (8, 3921) a. Using the ordered pairs (4, 3373) and (8, 3921) find the slope of the line. b. Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem.
