Use the equation you were given. y is the number of gun deaths. For 2006, use x = 6. For 2009, use x = 9.
To solve the last part, solve
9383 = 27153 - 1777 x to get x. You should get x = 10
Add x to 2000 to get the year.
There is no reason to expect past performance (represented the equation) to represent the future, but that is what they want you to do here. Gun deaths will probably start rising again.
