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
Answer:
d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
Step-by-step explanation:
find the diagonal line passing through the middle of the bottom rectangle:
a² + b² = c²
10² + 8² = c²
100 + 64 = 164
c² = 164
c = √164
c = 12.8062484729
find d:
a² + b² = c²
12² + 12.80624847298² = c²
144+ 164 = 308
c² = 308
c = √308
c = 17.5499287748
therefore d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
