Answer:
y = 0.6x
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Formula: 
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>
m = (1.2 - 0)/(2 - 0)
m = 1.2/2
m = 0.6
y = 0.6x
Step 2: Find y-intercept <em>b</em>
(0, 0) is y-int
Equation is y = 0.6x
Step 3: Graph
Use point (-5, -3) and (0, 0) to graph
Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
the answer to 300000 THAT'S THE ANSWER
First we need to find the square footage of her ceiling, since it's a square just multiply the side by the side: 44•44=1936. Now divide the square feet by how many feet each can can paint: 1936/242=8. Jenny would need exactly 8 cans of paint to paint her ceiling :)
