D) because only 4 is the common factor in the equation.
1/4 pound x 5 days= 1 1/4 pounds (1.25)
a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

Answer:
11, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange x + 5y = 10 into this form
Subtract x from both sides
5y = - x + 10 ( divide all terms by 5 )
y = - 
x +2 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (1, 3) into the partial equation
3 = - + c ⇒ c = 
y = - x + ← equation of parallel line
