The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.
To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:
63500-700x=53000
<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>
-700x=-10500
<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>
x=15
It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.
Hope this helps!!
Slope of f(x)
Slope of g(x)
PART A)
The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.
PART B)
The equation for line f(x)
y = 4x + b
-1 = 4(0) + b
-1 = b
y = 4x - 1
The function G(x) has a bigger y-intercept. The y-intercept of g(x) is 3, while the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
Hey, do you need to simplify all of them?
