Mountain view Gifts is experiencing constant growth. They recorded a total of $250,000 in sales in 2003 and $285,000 sales in 2008. What will their sales be in 2011?
The relationship is linear. The slope is
%28285000-250000%29%2F%282008-2003%29+=+7000 $/year. 2011 is 2011-2003 = 8 years from 2003.
y+-+250000+=+7000%28x-2003%29,
y+-+250000+=+7000%282011-2003%29,
y-250000+=+7000%2A8,
y+=+250000%2B56000,
y+=+306000.
