Answer:

B) f(x) = -3/5x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can write the equation of a line from a list of points. When you look through the list and see that one of them is the y-intercept, then the problem can be easier. When you look through the list of answers and see that the required answer is in slope-intercept form, then you know all you need to do is find the slope to go with the intercept you've located.

The point (x, f(x)) = (0, 5) tells you the y-intercept is 5.

The slope, the change in y divided by the change in x for two points, is ...

... (-1 -2)/(10 -5) = -3/5

This is the slope and the coefficient of x in the linear equation.

Now, we know the y-intercept (b=5) and the slope (m=-3/5), so we can fill in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

... y = mx + b

... y = (-3/5)x + 5

A population of 1,750 cheetahs decreases by 10% per year. How many cheetahs will there be in the population after 11 years? Roun
Triss [41]

Answer:

The answer is C. 546.

If a population decreases by 11%, that means that 89% (100% - 11% = 89%) of cheetahs remains each number. 89% can be expressed as 0.89, so to calculate the change of the population, we must each year multiply the number of cheetahs by 0.89.

After 1 year:     1750 * 0.89 ≈ 1558

After 2 years:  1558 * 0.89 ≈ 1387

After 3 years:  1387 * 0.89 ≈ 1234

After 4 years:  1234 * 0.89 ≈ 1098

After 5 years:  1098 * 0.89 ≈ 977

After 6 years:  977 * 0.89 ≈ 870

After 7 years:  870 * 0.89 ≈ 774

After 8 years:  774 * 0.89 ≈ 689

After 9 years:  689 * 0.89 ≈ 613

After 10 years:  613 * 0.89 ≈ 546
