The percentage of homes with digital TV services stood at 5% at the beginning of 1990 (t=0) and was projected to grow linearly so that, at the beginning of 2003 (t=4), the percentage of such homes was 25%.

Let y represnt % of homes with digital TVs, t be the time .

(0,5),(4,25) are two points.

slop m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). =(25-5)/4 =5.

The linear equation is   y-5=5(t-0).

y-5=1.25y.

y=5t+5.
