Poverty thresholds are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. A poverty threshold represents the minimum annual household income for a family not to be considered poor. In 2004, the poverty threshold for a familyof four with two children under the age of 18 years was $19,157. In 2014, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $24,008. Assuming poverty thresholds increase in a straight-line fashion, use the midpoint formula to estimate the povertythreshold of a family of four with two children under the age of 18 in 2009. How does your result compare to the actual poverty threshold in 2009 of $21,756?
