6 * 10^5 = 600,000
600,000/15 = 40,000
The pop of the small town is approximately 40,000 people
The answer is m = 250 - 25w.
This is because this answer is in y=mx+b format (slope-intercept form) and has the correct values.
In slope-intercept form, m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
In m = 250 - 25w, the y-intercept is 250 and the slope is -25.
This matches the graph.
Y-intercept is where a line crosses the y-axis, which is 250 in this case.
The slope is negative since the values are decreasing over time (as x-values increase, y-values decrease).
Please bare with me bc I’m bad at wording things, change it as you please!
It’s a minimum. I know that the function is a minimum because whenever there is a - in the beginning of the equation it flips your parabola over the x axis and my parabola becomes concave down. When my parabola is concave up I have a minimum, vise versa is a maximum. Because there isn’t a -, my parabola is concave up meaning the function has a minimum
