Considering that the number of victims by femicide shows an approximately linear behavior (use the segment 2012 to 2014), it establishes the mathematical model that expresses said behavior.​

Knowing that the number of victims by femicide shows an approximately linear behavior, a mathematical model can be obtained through the following equation:

y - y₀ = [(y₁ - y₀) / (x₁ - x₀)]·(x - x₀)

¿How to find a mathematical model associated with the number of victims by femicide?

Considering that the behavior is linear, a mathematical model can be obtained from the following equality that allows us to find the equation of a straight line:

y - y₀ = [(y₁ - y₀) / (x₁ - x₀)]·(x - x₀)

Where P(x₀, y₀) and Q(x₁, y₁) are points that belong to the line, that is, they belong to linear behavior.

¡Hope this helped!
