If the yearly increase is x, then
(750-350)/(2014-2010) = 400/4 = 100
Now you have a point and a slope, so
y-350 = 100(x-2010)
Sarah has been running a dog-walking business since 2010. She walks dogs twice a day, takes them to the park, and returns them to their homes. Each year, she has increased her fee by the same amount. The table shows what Sarah charged each customer for two given years of her business:
Year Annual Dog-walking Fee
2010 $350
2014 $750
