word problem dealing with slope intercept form

Question

There were 5474 CVS stores in the US in 2005 and 7886 CVS stores in the US in 2014. Write a
linear equation in slope-intercept form that models this growth. Let x stand for the number of
years after 2005 and let y = the number of CVS stores in the US.

 

I've attempted this on my own but i'm not getting anywhere if someone can please help thank you 

Answer 1

m = (7886 - 5474) / (2014 - 2005)

m = 2412 / 9

m = 803 / 3

 

y = 803x/3 + 5474
