Question

An investment is worth $3518 in 1995. By 2000 it has grown to $5553. Let y be the value of the investment in the year x, where x = 0 represents 1995. Write a linear equation that models the value of the investment in the year x.

A. y = -407x + 7588
B. y = 1/407 x + 3518
C. y = -407x + 3518
D. y = 407x + 3518

Answer 1

Since the value of the investment in the year 1995 is 3518
So the answer is
B. y = 1/407 x + 3518
Which represents the value of 3518

Check
From 1995 to 2000=5 years
Y=5/407+3518
Y=3518
