Answer:
the desired equation is y = x + 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is defined as m = rise over run. Run is the change (usually an increase) in x, and rise an increase or decrease in y.
We see, in the table, that if x increases from 1 to 6 (a 'run' of 5), y increases from 5 to 10 (a 'rise' of 5). Thus, it's immediately apparent that the slope is m = rise / run = 5 / 5, or just 1.
Using the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, y = mx + b, and the point (1, 5), we calculate b:
5 = 1(1) + b, or b = 4.
Therefore the desired equation is y = x + 4.

Answer:
7.92 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find t such that ...
3 = 2^(t/5)
where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.
Taking logs, we have ...
log(3) = (t/5)log(2)
t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years
It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.
Equation in point slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
y - 0 = (6 - 0)/(2 - 4) (x - 4)
y = 6/-2 (x - 4)
y = -3(x - 4)
Answer:s
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
2/3(30+x) = 26
2(30+x) = 26(3)
60 + 2x = 78
2x = 78 - 60
2x = 18
x = 18/2
x = 9
