Answer:

y = -5/4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line we are supposed to find is parallel to y = -5/4x - 5 that means they are going to have the same slope. The line we are looking for is of the following type: y = -5/4 x + b

Since it passes through the point (-8,4):

4 = -5/4 * (-8) + b <=>

4 = -2 + b <=>

4 + 2 = b <=>

b = 6

Hence the line is going to be: y = -5/4x + 6

Answer:

$Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}$

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The world population can be modeled by the following equation.

$Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which Q(t) is the population in t years after 1980, in billions, Q(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of approximately 1.3%/year.

This means that $Q(0) = 4.5, r = 0.013$
