Answer:

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of candle after burning for 20 minutes = 25 cm

Height after burning for 1 hr (60 minutes) = 10 cm

Height (y) in cm of candle x minutes after being lit:

Using the equation :

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

m = (change in y / change in x)

Change in height within 60 minutes :

Height at 20 minutes = 25cm

Height after an hour = 10

Change in height per hour = (25 - 10) = 15cm

Hence, m = change in height per minute

15cm / 60 = 0.25cm ( - 0.25) (decrease in height)

y1 = 25 ; x1 = 20

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

solmaris [256]

Answer:

511 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=690

rate= 2%

time = 13 years

let us apply the simple interest formula

A=P(1-rt)

Note the  negative sign (since we are dealing with decrease)

A= 690(1-0.02*13)

A=690(1-0.26)

A=690*0.74

A=510.6

A= 511 approx

Hence the population will reduce to 511 employees
