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
Given:
square shape
Perimeter 28 feet
Find its area
A square has 4 equal sides, so perimeter is 4a
Perimeter = 4a
28 ft = 4 a
28 ft / 4 = a
7 = a
One side of the the square is 7 ft.
Area of a square is the measure of one side raised to the power of 2.
A = a²
A = (7 ft)²
A = 49 ft²
