Hi,

In 2014,there were 100 students enrolled 
and in 2018 there were 200 students enrolled
How many students were enrolled in 2019?

  Let x represent the number of years after 2010  and y the number of students. 
 (4, 100)
 (8, 200)   m = 100/4 = 25/year  

that is:  there were NO students in 2010   y-intercept 1s (0, 0)

  y = 25x      x the independent variable and y the dependent variable

  y = 25*9 = 225  the  number of students were enrolled in 2019 


Wish You the Best in your Studies.

Formulation of this problem is made by a person  ILLITERATE  in Math.


It  MAKES  NO  SENSE  until the condition says directly and explicitly that the function
is  LINEAR  (or  CLOSE  to linear).


I just asked my question about the function in my previous post

https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Graphs/Graphs.faq.question.1174198.html

but the visitors of this forum and so called  "problems' composers"  are not those people
who understand or answer questions . . . unfortunately . . .


The only thing that they really are able to do is  "copy / paste / submit",  without any understanding.

Question B indicates linear relationship.
Original points (2014,100), and (2018,200).
Adjusted for 0 time is for year 2014, points are (0,100) and (4,200).

SLOPE: %28200-100%29%2F%284-0%29=100%2F4=25

EQUATION: y=25x%2Bb
b=y-25x
b=100
-
highlight%28y=25x%2B100%29


The description indicated an equation; not an inequality.

Year 2019 would correspond to x=5.
y=25%2A5%2B100
y=125%2B100
highlight%28y=225%29
