i cant seem to get this problem right?~?~?~ please help?

A cannery processed 605 pounds of strawberries in 3.5 hours. The cannery processed 2100 pounds in 10 hours. Write two ordered pairs and use them to write the equation of the line.

a. Write a linear equation to model the weight of strawberries S processed in T hours.
b. How many pounds of strawberries can be processed in 12 hours?

a. S = 230T – 200; 2560 lb
b.S = 173T – 200; 1874 lb
c. T = 230S – 200; 2560 lb
d.S = 230T + 200; 2960 lb

Tuition for UNC-Chapel Hill for the enrollment years 2002 – 2007 is most accurately represented by the line of best fit: y = 298.94x + 3215.48, where x = the number of years since 2000.

(a) If this trend continues, predict the cost for UNC tuition in the year 2010.

(b) If this trend continues, at the beginning of what year will Chapel Hill’s tuition exceed $10,000?

plz show ur work!

605 pounds in 3.5 hours is (3.5,605)
2100 pounds in 10 hours is (10,2100)
slope = 230
intercept = -200
S = 230T – 200
S = 230*12 – 200 = 2560
answer to your problem is (a)
