𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏

day x y (x,y)
1 0 10 (0,10)
31 30 12 (30,12)
1 31 12 (31,12)
28 58 9 (58,9)
1 59 9 (59,9)
31 90 15 (90,15)

𝑦2 − 𝑦1 10 − 12 −2 1
𝑚= = = =
𝑥2 − 𝑥1 0 − 30 −30 15

1
𝑦= 𝑥 + 𝑏….1
15

(0,10) ∈ 1

1
10 = × 0 + 𝑏 → 𝑏 = 10
15
1
𝑦= 𝑥 + 10 … . 2
15

Now we will check if (90,15) ∈ 2 ?

1
15 = ! (90) + 10 → 15 = ! 6 + 10 → 15 ≠ 16 = (90,15) ∈ 2
15

That is means the price doesn’t change from $10 to $15 in a straight line
