Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the number of visits ( in thousands) in your collection as a function of the years since 1990, Label variables.

I don't even know how to attempt this without failing.
Please explain.
Thank you.

Answer 1

From 1990 - 2000 = 10 years
43,1 * 10 = 431.
1529,6 - 431 = 1098,6

F(x) = 1098,6 + 43,1x

X = number of years
