Answer

$q=-4500p+41,500$

Work Step by Step

We are given data points $(p,q)$ $(3,28000)$ and $(5,19000).$ The line through these points has an equation $q-q_{1}=\displaystyle \frac{q_{2}-q_{1}}{p_{2}-p_{1}}(p-p_{1})$ $q=\displaystyle \frac{-9,000}{2}(p-3)+28,000$ $q=-4500p+13,500+28,000$ $q=-4500p+41,500$
