How much does the risk increase if age increases by 10 years?

I'm completly new to SAS .kindly bear with me ! so here is my question..how can i predict a value of a particular variable based on another variable value. for instace : i have a dataset with variables risk, age and it has values as follows:
Risk Age
12 57
24 67
13 58
56 86
28 59
so on..

So now i need to predict the value of the risk if age increases by 10 years or i can say 'By how much does the risk increase if age increases by ten years?'

any help is highly appreciated.Thank you !!

You can achieve this by simple linear regression from proc reg as below where y = risk and x=age

proc reg;

model y = x;

run;

proc reg;

model risk=age;

run;

then use formula y = mx + c;

c= intercept

m=slope

y = mean of risk

x= mean of age

Are you two going to the same school?
