-An investment is worth $\$ 2877$ in 1992 . By 1997 it has grown to $\$ 5547$. Let y be the value of the investment in the year $x$, where $x = 0$ represents 1992 . Write a linear equation that models the value of the investment in the year $x$.
A) $y = 534 x + 2877$
B) $y = \frac { 1 } { 534 } x + 2877$
C) $\mathrm { y } = - 534 \mathrm { x } + 8217$
D) $y = - 534 x + 2877$

The value of the investment increases by $5547 - 2877 = 2670$ over 5 years (from 1992 to 1997), so the annual increase is $2670 / 5 = 534$. Thus, the equation is $y = 534x + 2877$, where $x = 0$ in 1992.
