The number of people employed in some country as medical assistants was 365 thousand in 2004. By the year 2014, this number is expected to rise to 583 thousand. Let y be the number
of medical assistants (in thousands) employed in the country in the year X, where x=0
represents 2004.

a. Write a linear equation that models the number of people in thousands) employed as
medical assistants in the year x. (Hint: The line must pass through the points
(0,365) and (10,583).]

y=
