A small-business research project estimated that for the years 1998-2003, the total number of retail bicycle stores in a particular region would grow according to the linear equation y = 20x + 300, where x is the number of years after 1998. Graph the equation and use the graph to predict the total number of retail bicycle stores in 2008.
