There were 264 Whole Foods stores worldwide in 2008 and 399 Whole Foods stores worldwide in 2014. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models this growth. Let x stand for the number of years after 2008 and let y stand for the number of Whole Foods stores worldwide.
---------
Let 2008 be the zero year:: f(0) = 264
Then 2014 is the six year:: f(6) = 399
-----
slope = (399-264)/(6-0) = 22.5
---
Equation: y = 22.5x + 264
