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:
<u>Radius: 12 units </u>
- Area: πr² = 3.14*12² = 452.16 square units
<u>Diameter: 16.8 units</u>
- Area: πd²/4 = 3.14*16.8²/4 = 221.5584 square units
<u>Radius: 3.4 units</u>
- Area: πr² = 3.14*3.4² = 452.16 square units
<u>Diameter: 10 units</u>
- Area: πd²/4 = 3.14*10²/4 = 78.5 square units
Let distance of Sarah from school = x
Distance of sam from school = 3.5x or 13.3
=> 3.5x = 13.3
X = 13.3/ 3.5
X = 3.8
3x + 5 = 20
x = 5
Hope this helps
