Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, According to the question, The population of the world is 4 billion (approx).
Again According to the question, The world's population has grown at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year since 1945.
Therefore, after 1975 the growth rate will remains same.
Thus, the population of the world after t years,
(By the formula
)
⇒
Where 1.019 is the growth rate and 4 billion is the initial population.
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
