In 1992, Disney created a one-of-a-kind special pin. Each year, the pin’s value appreciates by a constant amount. In 1997, the pin was valued at $350. In 2002, it was valued at $600. Let x be the number of years since 1992 and y be the value of the pin in dollars. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

Me with this assignment ! i only partially understand, so explain. also it's a work sample. at the championship bike race, steve and paula were fighting for first place. steve was 175 feet ahead of paula and had only 300 feet left to go. he was very tired and was going only 9 feet per second. paula was desperate to catch up and was going 15 feet per second. who won the bike race and by how far did she/he win?
