Answer:
y = 1096x + 5394
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
The bakery sells 5394 donuts in 2010
And, the bakery sells 10,874 donuts in 2015
We need to write the linear model
So here
we assume that the x be the no of years after 2010
And, y be the no of donuts
Now
x_1 = 0, y_1 = 5394
x_2 = 5, y_2 = 10874
Now the slope is
m = (y_2 - y_1) ÷ (x_2 - x_1)
= (10874 - 5394) ÷ (5 - 0)
= 1,096
Now
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
y - 5394 = 1096(x - 0)
y - 5394 = 1096x - 0
y = 1096x + 5394
