Let x- intercept represents time
Let y-intercept represents population
Let 1990 represent initial year
Points are (0,14.2)(10,12.4)
slope m= 
= 
General linear equation
y= mx+b --------------(i)
here m is slope and b is intercept
plug the 1st point in equation
14.2= -0.018(0) + b
b=14.2
y= 0.018x + 14.2
replace y with p(t) and x with t
p(t) = -0.018t + 14.2
Well if it is a number like .933333333 you will have to round it, So now it is .93 and .93 in a fraction is 93/100
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to –2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5 is x > 1/6
<h3>How to solve the inequality?</h3>
The expression is given as:
–2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5
Expand
-16x + 8 < 2x + 5
Evaluate the like terms
-18x < -3
Divide both sides by -18
x > 1/6
Hence, the solution to –2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5 is x > 1/6
