y - 2483 = 24.6(x - 2)
Let x represent the number of years after 2010
Let y represents the number of restaurants in x years
2012 is 2 years after 2010
2017 is 7 years after 2010
Number of restaurants owned by RESTAURANTS in 2012 = 2483
This can be represented in coordinate form as (2, 2483)
Number of restaurants owned by RESTAURANTS in 2017 = 2606
This can be represented in coordinate form as (7, 2606)
The equation of a line in point-slope form is:
where m represents this slope, and is calculated as:
Substitute x₁ = 2, y₁ = 2483, and m = 24.6 into the point-slope equation
The equation in point-slope form becomes:
y - 2483 = 24.6(x - 2)
