The scatter plot shows the number of passengers at a major airport over a 15-year period from the year 2000. About how many passengers traveled through this airport in the year 2011?

The answer is 65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the x-value that corresponds to the given year.

Since x corresponds to the number of years since 2000, the year 2009 corresponds to an x-value of 9.

Next, find the y-value on the trend line that corresponds to an x-value of 9. The problem statement has been updated to show lines traced from the x-value of 9 to the trend line and then to the y-value.

Notice that the point (9,70) appears to lie on the trend line.

Therefore, in 2009, approximately 70 million passengers travelled through the airport.
