In Mississippi, a child is eligible for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) if the child’s family meets an income limit. For a family of four, the family income must be no more than $3067. For a family of six, the family income must be no more than $4114.
.
I'm assuming you want to derive a linear equation from the problem.
.
The problem gives you two points:
(4, 3067)
and
(6, 4114)
.
slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4114-3067)/(6-4) = 1047/2 = 523.5
.
Using the slope above and one of the two given points say (4, 3067) plug it into the "point-slope" form:
y - y2 = m(x - x1)
y - 3067 = 523.5(x - 4)
y - 3067 = 523.5x - 2094
y = 523.5x + 973 (this is the equation)
.
x represents number in a family
y represents maximum allowable income to be eligible for CHIP
