7. (5 pts) For the graph of y = f(x) shown below, select which graph represents the graph of y = f(x – 1) + 2 and explain your choice. No equation for f(x) is given.
8. (15 pts) Consider the graph of the piecewise function y = f(x) shown below.

9. (15 pts) Life expectancy at birth is the estimated lifespan of a baby born in a particular year (given the conditions of that time period). Based on data retrieved from http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/united-states/life-expectancy-at-birth the following chart of U.S. life expectancy has been prepared.
(a) (3 pts) Use the regression line to predict the U.S. life expectancy of a baby born in 2016, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show work
(b) (4 pts) Use the regression line to predict the birth year in which the U.S. life expectancy will hit 80 years, rounding up to the nearest whole year. Show work.
(c) (4 pts) State the slope of the regression line, its units of measurement, and interpret the meaning of the slope. (No work required)
(d) (4 pts) Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient, R. Based on the correlation coefficient, is the strength of the linear relationship strong, moderate, or weak? Show work.
