Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.
Let x be the number of years.
Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113
It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.
7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
Subtracting a number from x shifts the graph that may places tot he right
Subtracting a number at the end of the equation, shifts the graph that many units down.
The answer would be: Shift the graph of y = x^2 right 2 units and then down 10 units.
Answer:
just by looking at the graph you can see that the y int is one, so that eliminates two answers already. Then the slope is rise over run. (best thing to remember in math. rise over run) so pick two points. (0, 1) and (4,0) were the first ones i saw. to get from those two points you go from (0,1) over 4 (thats your run) and from there down 1 (thats your rise) to get to (0,4). You would then do rise over run (and because your rise goes down its negative) to get -1/4 as your slope. The answer is slope= -1/4, Y intercept = 1
