Answer:
In 2003, the population was 59000 and the population has been growing by 1,700 people each year.
A.
The equation will be:
59000+1700x = (population 'x' years after 2003)
For x, you plug in the amount of years after 2003.
Like if it is the year 2003, the population is
= 59000
when it is year 2005, the population is
= 62400
B.
The town's population in 2007 will be :
Population = 65800
C.
=>
x = 11
Means
Hence, by year 2014 the population will be 77700.
Answer:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a linear graph is usually written in the following format...
y = mx + b
Where m would be the slope, usually referring to rise over run and b would be the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). From the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at point 3 so b would be 3. The graph also shows us that for every 1 value that the line rises it moves to the right 2 values. Therefore, the slope would be 1/2. Using these values we can create the following equation...
y =
