The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states.

xx 11.8 8.6 7.1 3.9 2.5 2.6 2.4 0.4
yy 14.3 11.5 9.8 7.6 6.2 6.5 6.4 4.1

xx = thousands of automatic weapons
yy = murders per 100,000 residents

This data can be modeled by the equation y=0.86x+4.07.y=0.86x+4.07. Use this equation to answer the following; 
Special Note: I suggest you verify this equation by performing linear regression on your calculator.
