Answer:

y = 2500x -4989000

Explanation:

To find the slope we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (31000-26000)/(2008-2006)

=5000/2

2500

The slope is 2500

Then we use point slope form to write an equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-26000 =2500(x-2006)

Distribute

y-26000 = 2500x -5015000

Add 26000 to each side

y-26000+26000 = 2500x -5015000+26000

y = 2500x -4989000
