It would be C.
For example, say 1 person comes. This would be x=1. Plugging this in gives you,
y=0.5 + 1.3
This shows that C is true since x is always going to be multiplied by 0.5.
1.3 would be the base amount of time it takes to arrange since if it the y-intercept.
This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
Answer:

Answer:
m = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
In a standard equation of y = mx + b, m is the slope. In this situation, the slope is the price paid per mile.
To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). I will use the points (3, 8.25) & (11, 26.25)
Plug in these values:
(26.25 - 8.25) / (11 - 3)
Simplify the parentheses.
= (18) / (8)
Simplify the fraction.
18/8
= 9/4
This is your slope.
In a dollar value, it is 9/4 of a dollar, or $2.25 per mile.
M is the slope.
B is the y-intercept
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.
