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
See picture for solution to your problem.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
According to congruent chords and arcs theorem, if
then
.
This means that
Thus:
(full circle = 360°)



Plug in the values into the equation


Add like terms

Subtract 36 on both sides


Divide both sides by 12
