slope = m = change in salary/change in year = (1350000-252000)/(2001-1991)
so
m = 109,800 dollars/year
so
salary =109,800 (year -1991) + 252,000
that is a linear function of year but if you want it in y = mx + b form then
salary = 109,800*year - 218,359,800
check 2001 back in
salary = 109,800*2001 - 218359800
= $1,350,000 check
