(0,346)(2,344.8)
slope = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0) = -1.2 / 2 = -0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.6
use either of ur points (0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub and find b, the y int
346 = -0.6(0) + b
346 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.6x + 346

after 4 weeks....x = 4
y = -0.6(4) + 346
y = -2.4 + 346
y = 343.6 <=== after 4 weeks it will be 343.6
