Step-by-step explanation:
Birth Rate in 1994 = 14.6 births per thousand population.
Birth Rate in 2004 = 14.32 births per thousand population.
A linear equation is of the form: y=mx+c
Where:
- x=years after 1994
- y=the birth rate
- m=Yearly Birth Rate
First, we determine the birth rate per year

Therefore, a linear equation that relates y in terms of x is of the form:

When x=0, y=14.6
14.6=-0.028(0)+c
c=14.6
Therefore, the linear equation that relates y in terms of x is:

Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
