problem
Solution
Looking at the graph, the line has a -intercept of 3. Also, counting carefully, we can see that when the line travels exactly 7 units horizontally, it travels 4 units vertically. Therefore, the slope of the line is . So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is . Substituting 1001 for and for , we can find :
Final answer
575
