In order to determine the average rate, use the following formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]In this case, you have:
x1 = 1982
x2 = 2000
y1 = 0
y2 = 6713
Replace the values of the previous parameters into the formula for m:
[tex]m=\frac{6713-0}{2000-1982}=\frac{6713}{18}=372.94[/tex]Hence, the average rate of performance per year is 372.94
