Question 1176775
.
An investment is worth $3031 in 1994. By 1998 it has grown to $3759. Let y be the value of the investment 
in the year x, where x = 0 represents 1994. Write a linear equation that models the value of the investment in the year x.
~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
If  $3031 represents the investment amount in 1994 

and $3759 represents the investment amount in 1998, 4 years later,


then the rate of linear growth is  {{{(3759-3031)/4}}} = 182 dollars per year.


Then the linear equation you request for is


    y = 3031 + 182x.                        <U>ANSWER</U>
