Question 1078627: Hello, I am working on linear equations and I am understanding most of it. The only thing I am struggling with is this one word problem. Here it is; Along the U.S. Atlantic coast, the sea level is rising about 2 millimeters per year. How many millimeters has sea level risen since you were born? How do you know? Use a linear equation to justify your answer. I was born in 2004. All I have so far is y = 2 𝗑 365x - 2004. I am not sure if that is the correct equation. I need help with finding the equation and I can do it from there. This needs to be handed in by tomorrow. Thank you! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):

Equation::
2mm per year is the slope of your equation.
2004 to 2017 is 13 years
-----
y = 2x
y = 2*13
y = 26 mm
