Question 56822: A small business predicts sales according to straight-line method. if sales were $50,000 the first year and $110,000 in the third year, find the rate of growth in dollars per year. (the slope of the line).
Can someone help me with this dreaded word problem/slope problem.
Thanks! Answer by Hook(36) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You've probably found the slope of a few lines up to this point. If I said "Find the slope of the line that passes through the following two points:(1,50000) and (3,110000)," you could probably tackle that.
