3y=6+x
y=(6+x)/3
y=2+x/3
y=mx+b
y=x/3+b
so m(slope) is 1/3
use the point (3, 5), sub this for x and y
5=3/3+b
5-1=b
b=4
therefore, y=x/3+4
or y=(1/3)x+4 (you can write it like this as well)
Answer
The first year is 6100
After 3 years it is 9079.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = -1 + 3x... y1= 2, y2=5... so the 20th term will be 59. There will be ten pairs (i.e 2,59 equal 61... 5,56 equal 61) so multiply this 61 by 10 and your sum will be 610
