A fruit company recently released a new applesauce. By the end of its first​ year, profits on this product amounted to $25,000. The anticipated profit for the end of the fourth year is $72,700. After the first​ year, the ratio of change in time to change in profit is constant. Let x be years and y be profit in dollars. **HINT: The line must pass through (1, 25000) and (4, 72700)!**

Write a linear function (in slope-intercept form) that expresses profit as a function of time. Then, use this function to predict at the end of what year will the company’s profit reach $104, 500.

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:
