Answer:
2.73 million people per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn sentences into coordinates/points:
In 2000, 281.4 million people
In 2010, 308.7 million people
Rate of population per year:



The rate of change is equal to rise over run
= (-1 - 8)÷(3 - 0)
= -9 ÷ 3
= -3
When you say initial value I'm assuming you mean the y-intercept
In that case you first need to find the equation of the line by substituting the gradient and point into the gradient intercept formula
y - 8 = -3(x - 0)
y = -3x + 8
The y-intercept is when x = 0 so,
y = -3(0) + 8
Therefore y = 8
The equation of line with undefined slope and x - intercept -7 is x = -7
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that the slope of line is undefined and the x intercept is -7
To find: Equation of line
If a line has undefined slope, then it is a vertical line
A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate
<em><u>The equation of a vertical line always takes the form:</u></em>
x = b
where, "b" is the x - intercept
Given x - intercept is -7
<em><u>Thus the equation of line is:</u></em>

Therefore, the equation of line is found
