Answer: y = 2/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
In the formula y=mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We need the slope and y intercept numbers to write the equation. Since we know the slope we will use the given point to find the y intercept by plotting in the x and y coordinates into the formula.
1 = 2/3(-3) + b Solve for b
1= -6/3 + b
1 = -2 + b
+2 +2
b = 3
The equation will be y = 2/3x + 3
=P*r*t
=500*4.5%*10
=225
p= 500
r= 4.5%
t= 10
The population in the year 2020 is 4628
<h3>How to determine the population?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Initial, a = 12910
Rate, r = 5%
Since the population decreases, then we make use of an exponential decay function.
This is represented as:
f(n) = a * (1 - r)^n
So, we have:
f(n) = 12910 * (1 - 5%)^n
Evaluate the difference
f(n) = 12910 * 0.95^n
2020 is 20 years from 2000.
So, we have:
f(20) = 12910 * 0.95^20
Evaluate
f(20) = 4628
Hence, the population in the year 2020 is 4628

Answer:
a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 3 + 1 - 4 = 3a - 2a
8 = a
a = 8
