Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Amanda went into the grocery business starting with five stores. This means that initial value or y-intercept is 5.

We are also told that after one year, she opened two more stores. After two years, she opened two more stores than the previous year. This means that rate of change or slope is 2.

So the line representing the number of stores Amanda will own over time would be $y=2x+5$ .
