The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.
An exponential function is represented as:

Where:
- (a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
- (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.
- (x) represents the number of years since 2022
- (y) represents the population in x years
Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)
Take for instance:

By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

Answer:
The answer is
<h2>y = 5x</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
From the question
Slope / m = 5
Equation of the line passing through point (2 , 10) is
y - 10 = 5(x - 2)
y - 10 = 5x - 10
y = 5x - 10 + 10
<h3>y = 5x</h3>
Hope this helps you
the awser is (-2)(8 + 6) + (-3)
Answer:
slope = -1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure we can see that the line passes through 2 points which are
(-6,-1) and (6,-2)
Use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1
(-2-(-1))/6-(-6)
(-2+1)/6+6
-1/12
