Answer:

456 squirrels

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula:

N = M * C / R

Where "N" is the estimated population size, "M" is the number of individuals already tagged, "C" is the total number of those caught the second time regardless of whether or not they are tagged, and "R" is the total number of tagged recaptured individuals.

Now, replacing we have:

N = 114 * 96/24

N = 456

Therefore, there are approximately 456 squirrels in the conservation area.

What are the two point plz help me
evablogger [386]

Your first point should always be shown in the y-intercept following the standard form for slope-intercept form

Y = mx + b

b = y - intercept

In this case your first point would be (0,1)

You next point would be following the slope which is -2x. When you graph a equation always know that it is rise over run. For this line, it would be going from left to right since it is a negative line.

Your second point would go down 2 points from your starting point (0,1) and run 1 to the right in the x-axis, which is also called, (1,-3)
