Step $2$: My Algebra Station

a$)$ What is your intended career? Early Chilahood Education.

b$)$ Which city and state would you like to live in$?$ South Elgin, Illinois

c$)$ What is the average salary of your intended career when you graduate? Please know that it will be your initial salary. $($Hint: initial salary represents the $y-$intercept$)$

$$55\mathrm{.}000$

Assume that your salary growth $($i$.$e$.,$ yearly promotion$)$ will be linear. The expected promotion percentage is $2\%$ of your average salary each year.

d$)$ What is the slope? $($Hint: slope is $2\%$ of your average salary$)$

Slope $2\%$ increase then

$m=0\mathrm{.}02(55\mathrm{.}000)=1100$

e$)$ Determine and write the complete linear equation that can be found based on the slope and $y$ intercept found in the previous steps. The linear equation needs to be in slope$-$intercept form. $($Note: Please know that the linear equation represents your salary every year based on your promotion$)$

f$)$ Fill out the table below, based on your equation, so you can graph $y$ more easily. Make sure you show all work.
