Respuesta :

First let't find the slope

Pick any two point and locate its coordinate

(0, 1500) and (2, 1800)

x₁ = 0 y₁=1500 x₂=2 y₂=1800

substitute the values into the formula below to find the slope

[tex]\text{slope(m)}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1800-1500}{2-0}[/tex][tex]=\frac{300}{2}=150[/tex]

The y-intercept(b) of the graph is b=1500

Substitute the values of the slope and intercept into y=mx +b

This gives the equation of the graph.

That is:

[tex]y=150x\text{ + 1500}[/tex]
