Answer:

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you are checking for a best fitting equation you want to check if it has a constant slope.  If it does then the relation is linear and super easy.

So, since the t values are increasing by the same amount you want to see if the y values are  too.  And they are, each population entry is increasing by 2.31, this is the slope.  

Also, keep in mind you can caluclate slope with the equation \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}  here x is replaced by t though.

Now, since we know it's linear and we know the slope we can find the equation with the formula  y - y1 = m(x - x1) where again, x is replaced by t and m is the slope 2.31

I am just going to use the first point.  so x1 = t1 = 0

y - 309.35 = 2.31(x-0)

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Let me know if there was something you didn't understand.

How do I find the perimeter of a figure to the nearest hundreth
aev [14]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

add the two sides which are 6 and 6, then find the circumference of one of the circles and thats it, the reason why you only need one is because both of those circles are halfs, so they make one circle up, so its 6+6, then the circumference is 12.5667 so its 12+12.5667 which is 24.5667 which rounds up to 25.
