Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The equation that goes through the points (2, -1) and (-6, -5) is 1/2x - 2
I know this because when I graphed this equation, it passed through those points. (My graph is shown below)
Since, population of species A is represented by : 
Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e., 
i.e., 
i.e., 
Also, since population of species B is represented by : 
Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e., 
i.e., 
i.e., 
Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.
Hence, option D is correct.
