Officials project that between 2010 and 2050, the population of a certain city will drastically change. The model below gives th

e projection of the city's population , P, in thousands, with respect to time, t, in years, where 2010 corresponds to t = 0.P=175 + (11/2)tWhat does the 175 mean in the equationin 2010 the population of the city was 175 thousand
in 2050 the population of the city will be 175 thousand
Between 2010 and 2050, the population of the city will increase by 175 thousand
Between 2010 and 2050 the population of the city will decrease by 175 thousand

Answer:

In the year 2010, the population of the city was 175,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we rewrote this as a linear expression in standard form (it is linear, btw), it would look like this:

P(t)=\frac{11}{2}t+175

The rate of change, the slope of this line, is 11/2.  If the year 2010 is our time zero (in other words, we start the clock at that year), then 0 time has gone by in the year 2010.  In the year 2011, t = 1 (one year goes by from 2010 to 2011); in the year 2012, t = 2 (two years have gone by from 2010 to 2012), etc.  If we plug in a 0 for t we get that y = 175,000.  That is our y-intercept, which also serves to give us the starting amount of something time-related when NO time has gone by.

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. Through the point (2,−4) with y-intercept of −2.
CaHeK987 [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:


y = mx + b

Where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the cut point

Substituting the given point: (x, y) = (2, -4) and the cutoff point b = -2 we can find the slope,


We have:


-4 = m * 2-2\\-4 = 2m-2\\-4 + 2 = 2m\\-2 = 2m

m =-\frac{2}{2}\\m = -1

Thus, the equation is given by:


y = -x-2

Answer:


y = -x-2

m_a_m_a [10]

This question belongs to greatest common factor.

49 = 7*7

56 = 7*8

So Greatest common factor = 7

Hence Susan can arrange 7 mugs on one shelf.

For 49 blue mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs in 7 shelves.

For 56 red mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs on 8 shelves.


Hence, 7 shelves are needed for BLUE mugs and 8 shelves are needed for RED mugs.
