You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the number of students majoring in computer science at erasmus was 225 in 2002 and 305 in 2005 and if this number increase linerely each year, what will be the approximate number of students majoring in computer science at erasmus.

--------------
You have two points: (2,225), (5,305)
slope = [305-225]/[5-2]= 80/3
y=mx+b; need to find "b".
305=(80/3)5+b
305=(400/3)+b
b=515/3
EQUATION:
# students = (80/3)(year)+(515/3)
#(7)=(80/3)(7)+(515/3)
#(7)=358 1/3
#(9)=(80/3)(9)+(515/3)
#(9)=411 2/3
