Answer: b = 17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The line must go through the point (5,2) which means x = 5 and y = 2 pair up together.
We'll plug these x and y values into the equation and solve for b.
y = -3x+b
2 = -3(5)+b
2 = -15+b
2+15 = b
17 = b
b = 17
The equation y = -3x+b turns into y = -3x+17
The previous population was 14000.
Explanation
The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.
current population=9100
previous population =x
current population is 35% less than the previous population x

The previous population was 14000.
X=0. Y=-2. There is only one x value for this question.
Answer:
-3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
change them to improper fractions
-5/2 - (-7/4)
now multiply -5/2 by two so the denominators are the same
-10/4 - (-7/4)
subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number
-10/4 + 7/4
= -3/4
