Answer:
Since this is a linear (non-exponential) population problem you can just use the standard y=mx+b form of an equation. Where m = (change in population/change in years)
The numbers you were provided state that over the course of 7 years (1998-1991) the population increased by 420 people (4130-3710). So, (420/7) = 60 = m. Assuming that the growth rate for 1990 is the same as 1991. then you would have a starting population of (3710-60) or 3650, that would be your "b" value since at t=0 P(t) = 3650. This yields a final equation of P(t) = 60t +3650. Check the answer at t=1 and you get the population during 1991: 3710.

Answer:
x intercept [a]=3
y intercept [b]=-5
we have
equation of a line is:
x/a+y/b=1
x/3+y/-5=1
(5x-3y)=15
5x-3y-15=0 is a required equation

Answer:
(-9, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -5x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 6 = -5 (x + 1)
distribute -5 (x + 1) by multiplying
y - 6 = -5x - 5
than add 6 to both sides
y = -5x + 1
