a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

If you gave away 280 of 600 business cards and you would like to know what percent of the cards is left, you can calculate this using the following steps:
600 - 280 = 320 cards are left
320 / 600 = 8 / 15 = 0.5333 = 53.33%
The correct result is D. 53.33%.
Try writing it in point-slope form and you will see why you have a problem.
slope m is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-6)/(-6 - -6) = -4/0
The denominator has a zero, so it is undefined.
Since the point-slope form requires "m" to be defined, you can't write the equation of the line using point-slope form.
