Let x represent the number of years since 2003. use the data table and technology to generate a line of best fit. round the slope and y-intercept to the nearest whole number. what do the slope and y-intercept of the line represent in the problem situation?

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
