Answer:

about 78 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Population

y =ab^t where a is the initial population and b is 1+the percent of increase

t is in years

y = 2000000(1+.04)^t

y = 2000000(1.04)^t

Food

y = a+bt where a is the initial population and b is constant increase

t is in years

b = .5 million = 500000

y = 4000000 +500000t

We need to set these equal and solve for t to determine when food shortage will occur

2000000(1.04)^t= 4000000 +500000t

Using graphing technology, (see attached graph The y axis is in millions of years), where these two lines intersect is the year where food shortages start.

t≈78 years

Answer:

78 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by quickly creating an equation like this:

2000000(1.04)^t= 4000000 +500000t

And when you solve it you will get approximately 78 years.

Thank you!

What word describes the slopes of the line

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple ways we can go about this.

First, we can see that as x increases, so does y, so that means its positive

For perspective, if x is the amount of time and y is the number of sales, we can see that the sales are going up and not going down or staying at the same place

If you wanna check your work on that, you can plot two points and find the slope using y1-y1/x1-x2 and the slope will be positive.

We can also use the process of elimination, we know it can't be zero because it's not a straight, horizontal line and we know its not undefined because it isn't a straight vertical line, so it's between negative and positive, and since the line is going up, that means that it's positive.
