Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 3 Answer A is closest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1). Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier. The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.
Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.
The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):
y = (1/2)x - 3
Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility. 1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Remembert that, by definition:
→ 
Then, you can rewrite 
in exponential form:
Now you can solve for the variable "x":
Add 6 to both sides of the equation:
And finally you must divide both sides of the equation by 2, then:
This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.
Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:
r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say
P(t)=8500(0.955^t)
....
7000=8500(0.955^t)
14/17=(955/1000)^t taking the natural log of both sides
ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)
t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)
t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)
Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.
