Here is the two-part question...

a. The date January 1, 2010, can be written in shorthand as 01/01/10. You can add the 01 (month) and the 01 (day) together then multiply by 5 to get the 10 (year). What are two other dates (after January 1, 2000) that follow the same pattern as this one? Your answers should be written in the form "January 1, 2010".

b. Find the equation in slope-intercept form (you know, y = mx + b) of a line that passes through the points (-9, 6) and (15, 16). Explain your steps on how you find this equation.
