Answer:

  5% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change can be calculated using the formula ...

  percentage change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Using the given population values, we can find the change to be ...

  percent change = (23221/24528 -1) × 100% = (0.947 -1) × 100%

  = -5.3% . . . . . a negative change indicates a decrease

The percentage decrease in the town's population is 5%.

A rectangle has an area of 36 square units. As the length and the width change, what do you know about their product? Is this le
m_a_m_a [10]
Area = 36 = length*width

Then, while the area is constant the product length*width is constant.

Length and area are inversely related.

That means that to keep the same product (area), length vary in inverse proportion to width.

If you increase length, widht has to decrease to satisfy this relation:

width = 36/length

Of course, you can also say: length = 36 / width.

Oxana [17]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: The answer of 1400 is correct.

What I did is I found the area of the figure assuming it was a rectangle, then I subtracted the corners that were removed.

1800 - 150 - 100 - 150 = 1400

Answer:

y = 1/2x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point and a slope.  Therefore we can use the point slope form to create a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = 1/2(x--2)

y-5 = 1/2(x+2)

Distribute the 1/2

y-5 = 1/2x +1

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = 1/2x +1+5

y = 1/2x +6

This is in slope intercept form
