For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 650. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
Interpretation:
- The slope of the linear model is 650, which means the population of the city grows by approximately 650 every year since 1900.
- The y-intercept of the linear model is 20,000, which represents the population of the city in the year 1900.
