The equation of the line can be used to calculate the predicted frequency of earthquakes (Num/year) for any specified magnitude M. For example, use the equation to calculate: a) The worldwide frequency of earthquakes with M ≥ 4 b) The worldwide frequency of earthquakes with M ≥ 2 c) The worldwide frequency of earthquakes with M ≥ 0
