Answer:
Graph y = 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's get the equation into standard form. Distribute the 2 on the right.
Next, we want the variable "y" to be alone, so we at 4 to both sides.
That is our equation in standard y = mx + b form. "m" is our slope, while "b" is our y-intercept. Above , we don't have a value for b, therefore the line passes through the origin.
We do, however, have a slope, which can be thought of as or rise over run. To represent this, we can rewrite our slope as:
Meaning in each interval, the line goes up by 2 units, and moves forward by 1.
As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.
Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:
million people
To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)
substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:
million people
To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30
t = 25
million people
t = 30
million people
