Question

In 1995, Orlando, Florida, was about 175,000. At the time, the population was growing at a rate of about 2000 per year. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to find orlando's population for any year

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is Population is 175,000

Increase in rate = 2000/year

Let x be the population in 1995 which is C= 175,000

y= Population after per year

We know the formula for slope intercept form is

y= mx + C     ............... (i)

Now from the suppose values and given

m= 2000

Now putting values in equation (i) gives

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Here x is the No of years
