The linear equation in slope intercept form for population of Jose's town is y = 320x + 2400.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the population of Jose's town in 1995 was 2400 and the population in 2000 was 4000,  

Let x represent the number of years since 1995.  

We have to write a linear equation, in slope- intercept form, that represents this data.

Now, let the change in population per year be p.

Then, population in a year = population change per year \times number of years + population in 1995.

⇒population in a year = p\times x + population in 1995

⇒ population in a year = p \times x + 2400

Here we have an case that, population in 2000 is 4000  

Then, number of years since 1995 = 5  

So, 4000 = p \times 5 + 2400 ⇒ 5p = 4000 – 2400 ⇒ 5p = 1600 ⇒ p = 320

Then, our equation will be population in a year = 320x + 2400  

Considering the population in a year as y ⇒ y = 320x + 2400.

Hence, the linear equation in slope intercept form is y = 320x + 2400.

Which expression is equivalent to (4−3)−6?
arsen [322]

Answer:

The given expression is equal to -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

= (4−3)−6

solving bracket first as 4 -3 equals 1

= 1-6

Subtracting greater term from smaller gives the negative value

= -5

So the given expression will be equal to -5

If 100 cats kill 100 mice in 100 days, then 4 cats would kill 4 mice in how many days ?
Gemiola [76]
If 100 cats killed 100 mice in 100 days, you can say that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat. So, if four cats killed four mice, and we're going of off the same basis that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat, then the answer would be 4.
