It is 4000 that is the correct answer
Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
"Parallel" means the same, which means the slope you find. The formula for slopes is y=mx+b, so we need to put this equation in the right order for that. ('m' is the slope.)
Add 4x to each side, and get -3y=16+4x. Rearrange it to get it in the right order (y=mx+b).
This is -3y=4x+16. So the number in front of 'x' is 'm', which is the slope. You never actually see 'm', it is represented by a number. So four is the slope.
