A. use the coordinates (0,250) and (5,325) to find the equation in point slope form that represents the average rate of increase for the number of employees.
B. find the number of employees in 2010

(0,250), (5,325).

A. m = (325-250) / (5-0) = 75 / 5 = 15.

(0,250, (x,y).
m = (y-250) / (x-0) = 15/1
Cross multiply:
(y-250) = 15(x-0).

B. (y-250) = 15(10-0)
y-250 = 150
Y = 150 + 250 = 400 Employees.
