<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
Hence, the equation of line is:
y= -6x
<h3><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
Clearly from the graph we could see that the line passes through the point (0,0) and (-1/2,3).
Also we know that the equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given as:
Here we have:
(a,b)=(0,0) and (c,d)=(-1/2,3)
Hence, the equation of line is:
Hence, the equation of line is:
y= -6x
Let's consider the scenario after each year:
After the zeroth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)⁰
After the first year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹
After the second year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)²
...
Thus, we can find the general rule:
After the nth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)ⁿ
And after the 16th year, the population is 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹⁶ = 224 758 (rounded to nearest whole number)
Thannnnnnnnk yooooooouuuuuuu
