Y= 1x + 2
Use the formula y=mx+b when trying to do things like this.
Y intercept form is when your line intersects through the y axis, and this is also your b. M is your slope.
Answer:
MK
Step-by-step explanation:
ML is the short side of right triangle MLK. MJ is the hypotenuse of right triangle MKJ. This gives you a clue that the ratios of interest are the short side to the hypotenuse. All these right triangles are similar, so ...
ML/MK = MK/MJ . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same
ML·MJ = MK² . . . . . . . cross multiply
MK = √(ML·MJ) . . . . . the geometric mean of ML and MJ is MK
The population decreases by 4118 so the previous population was 18,318
