Answer:
looks like 9.5, but kinda hard to tell
Alright, we know that the slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where x and y remain variables, m stands for the slope and b stands for the y intercept.
Because you should already have the slope from the first part (because slope is the same thing as rate of change), you should know that the slope is 60. The y-intercept should be your y value when x=0, and if you set up the equation in terms of years since Elliot has started his business, the year 2000 should be equal to x=0, so the y intercept should be equal to 750.
Now that you know the slope intercept form and what each part of it means, you can plug in what you have to get the final equation, which should be y=60x+750
By factoring, x equals both -5 and 7.
