(-5,2) concave up
Hope this helps :)
The population in 2040 of the town can be solved using the formula
F = P( 1 -I)^n
Where F is the future population
P is the present population
I is the decline rate
N is the number of years
F = 22,000(1-0.028)^39
<span>F = 7268</span>
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m =(-2-7)/(8-0)
m =(-9/8)
slope is -9/8
the y intercept is 7 (0,7)
y = mx +b
y = -9/8 x+7
Answer: y = -9/8x +7
