okay so heres the problem i cant figure out how to find the slop or any of the equation i have the answer i just dont know how to get to it??
answer is 2. y = -749.5(x – 1999) + 4076 Prediction y = -4168.5, this answer is not reasonable since you can not have less than 0 stores
- Business: In 1999, there were 4076 J.C. Penney stores and in 2003, there were 1078 stores. Write a linear equation that gives the number of stores in terms of the year. Then, predict the number of J.C. Penney stores in 2010. Is your answer reasonable? Explain.
