2) An advertising executive has found that there is a linear relationship between the monthly amount of money spent on advertising (A and revenues (R). When $500 per month was spent on advertising, revenue was $15,700, while $200 spent advertising in a month brought in $9,400. Find the linear function that will find R(A), Revenue as a function of Advertising, where A is the monthly expenditures on advertising, and R is the associated monthly revenues.

The number y (in thousands) of male participants in high school lacrosse in the United States from 2008 through 2015 can be approximated by the linear model y=3.66t+91.4,2t5 where t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2010.
