The answer is to what is 5/2 divided by 1/4 is 10
The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
slope -1/2, y-intercept: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. Line crosses y axis at (0,1).
2. Equation of a slope for a line given two points on the line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). We'll use (0,1) and (2,0).
3. Set one point as (x1, y1) and the other as (x2, y2). The way you assign them doesn't matter, as long as the 0 and 1 and the 2 and 0 remain together. We'll make (0,1) = (x1, y1) and (2,0) = (x2, y2).
4. Plug in the points for the variables in the equation they correspond to.
5. Solve: (0-1)/(2-0)
=-1/2
Given:
2000 - 5,000 people
2010 - 5,600 people
(5600 - 5000) / 5000 = 600/5000 = 0.12
0.12 * 100% = 12%
The percent of change is 12%. It means that the number of people increase by 12% from the original number of 5,000 in year 2000.
