document.write( "Question 1148258: The average​ profit/loss of a company​ (in thousands of​ dollars) was documented for 30 months. The 5th month showed a loss of ​$3000​, however the 25th month showed a profit of ​$9000. Assuming the​ profit/loss is​ linear, write the equation of the​ line, in​ slope-intercept form, that represents the​ profit/loss for each month x. Use this result to predict the​ profit/loss after 60 months.

slope is (9-(-3))/(25-5)
\n" ); document.write( "12/20=0.6
\n" ); document.write( "point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope (x1, y1) point
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=0.6(x-25)
\n" ); document.write( "y=0.6x-15+9
\n" ); document.write( "y=0.6x-6, x months and y profit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for 60 months, y=0.6*60-6 or 36-6=$30000 profit
