Step-by-step explanation:
Let
r ----> the number of readers (y-coordinate or dependent variable)
t ----> the number of years after 2000 (x-coordinate or independent variable)
Remember
2004 ----> represent t=4 years
2014 ----> represent t=14 years
we have the ordered pairs
(4,1,000,000) and (14,2,000,000)
step 1
Find the slope
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
we have
substitute
step 3
Convert to slope intercept form
isolate the variable r
step 4
Convert to function notation
