Question 360230
Mountain view Gifts is experiencing constant growth. They recorded a total of $250,000 in sales in 2003 and $285,000 sales in 2008. What will their sales be in 2011?
The relationship is linear. The slope is 
{{{(285000-250000)/(2008-2003) = 7000}}} $/year.  2011 is 2011-2003 = 8 years from 2003.  
{{{y - 250000 = 7000(x-2003)}}},
{{{y - 250000 = 7000(2011-2003)}}},
{{{y-250000 = 7000*8}}},
{{{y = 250000+56000}}},
{{{y = 306000}}}.
