The answer is a= -4.181818
Let x- intercept represents time
Let y-intercept represents population
Let 1990 represent initial year
Points are (0,14.2)(10,12.4)
slope m= 
= 
General linear equation
y= mx+b --------------(i)
here m is slope and b is intercept
plug the 1st point in equation
14.2= -0.018(0) + b
b=14.2
y= 0.018x + 14.2
replace y with p(t) and x with t
p(t) = -0.018t + 14.2
the answer is “c” i believe
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 26
y = x + 3
Plug in the equation for y
3x + 2(x + 3) = 26
Multiply the 2 with what is in the parantheses
3x + 2x + 6 = 26
Combine like terms and solve for x
5x + 6 = 26
5x = 20
x = 4
Reflection over the y-axis and shifted 3 units up
