Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given (-5,14), (-2,11), (1,8), and (4,5).  Your first objective is to find the slope.

Slope is delta y divided by delta x - the amount of height the graph gains divided by the amount of horizontal length the graph gains.  Take any two points and plug it into this: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

i.e. (-2,11) and (4,5): \frac{11-5}{-2-4} which is \frac{6}{-6}, or -1.  Thus, the slope is -1.

We now have y = -1(x) + b, or just y = -x + b.

Next, find the y-intercept.  Set the value of x to 0, as the y-intercept is found along the y-axis, which is at the horizontal center of the graph, 0.  We now know that the y-intercept is (0,y).  To find the y-value, plug one of the coordinate pairs of choice into x and y.

i.e. (-5,14): 14 = (-1)(-5) + b

14 = 5 + b

14 - 5 = 5 + b - 5

9 = b

So, the y-intercept is (0,9).

Finally, the equation is:

y = -x + 9

According to the 2000 Census the population of Canton was 7,720. Holly Spring's population was 3,200. Canton's population increa
qwelly [4]
Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.

Let x be the number of years.

Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113

It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760
