The average profit/loss of a company (in thousands of dollars) was documented for 30 months. The 5th month showed a loss of $300
0, however the 25th month showed a profit of $5000. Assuming the profitloss is linear, write the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that represents the profit/loss for each month x. Use
this result to predict the profit/loss after 60 months
Hint: Use the ordered pairs (5. - 3) and (25,5).

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y= 5x -5.
(Type an equation using x and y as the variable. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
..There would be a of safter 60 months
