\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "month totals increase ... by 8   | recorded: 21, 29, 37, 45, and 53
\n" );
document.write( "slope is 8
\n" );
document.write( "S(m) = 8m + b
\n" );
document.write( "FIRST MONTH... S(1)= 8*1 + b
\n" );
document.write( "21 = 8 + b
\n" );
document.write( "13 = b
\n" );
document.write( "S(m) = 8m + 13   |(S) as a function of the number of months (m) 
\n" );
document.write( "Check Your answer using any of the monthly totals given:
\n" );
document.write( "s(4) = 45 as one example\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "   \n" );
