First find the slope of the linear equation...
slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(10400-4200)/(2015-2007)=6200/8=775 so we so far have a line of:
s=775(y-2003)+b, using either original point we can solve for b, the y-intercept which is the initial value as well...I'll use point (2007, 4200) and we get:
4200=775(2007-2003)+b
4200=3100+b
b=$1100
s(y)=775(y-2003)+1100
The initial deposit was $1100.00.
