The equation, y = 1250x + 22,850, gives the salary of a person as "y" after the stated number of years (x). Model the data with a linear function using the points (1, 24,100) and (3, 36,600) Then use this function to predict the salary in 5 years.

(a) --- The function

(b) --- The salary in 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solving (a): Model the function around (1,24100) and (3,36600)

First, we calculate the slope

The function is then calculated as:

Solving (b): Salary in 5 years

Here:

So:

what is the answer?
