Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years, where x = 0 represent the first year. Let y represent the number of pizzas baked.

In the first year(i.e. at x = 0), 2000 pizza was baked. This can be represented by (0, 2000).

In the second year(i.e. at x = 1), 3000 pizza was baked. This can be represented by (1, 3000).

In the third year(i.e. at x = 2), 4000 pizza was baked. This can be represented by (2, 4000).

Therefore, the relationship between x and y is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)[/tex]

Using the points (0, 2000) and (2, 4000):

[tex]y-2000=\frac{4000-2000}{2-0} (x-0)\\\\y-2000=1000x\\\\y = 1000x+2000[/tex]
