I need help solving this. I do not get it one bit.

The median home sale price in country A has been rising approximately linearly since 1995. The median home sale price in 1995 was ​$110,500. The median home sale price in 2004 was ​$194,200. Let P be the median home sale price and let t be the number of years since 1995.

Determine a function​ P(t) that fits this data.

1 answer

how much did prices rise over how many years? ... this is the slope of the line
... price rise / years

t is the number of years
... it starts at a price in 1995 and increases some amount per year (slope)
