For "Predict the number of deaths in 2006 " sub in x=6 into the equation ...
y = -1777(6) = 27153 = 16491

for "Predict the number of deaths in 2007 " let x=7 and repeat as above

For " In what year will the number of gun deaths be 11,160?" set y = 11160 and solve for x ,
then add x to 2000

11160 = -1777x + 27153
1777x = 27153 - 11160
etc
