A) Now look, in the year 2000, the population is 118,000
In the year 2006 is 138,000
To find the percent change |Original Amt - New Amt| -------------------------------- x100
Original Amt
So for this question you would do 118,00 - 138,000 (ignore the negativesss)
and you get -20,000 (ignore the negatives) and then you get 20,000
Now, you have to do 20,000 divided by 118,000 x 100
20,000 divided by 118,000 and you get 0.169491525
Now you have to multiply 0.169491525 by 100
0.169491525 x 100 = 16.9491525
Round this and you get a 16.9% change.
b) To predict the population in 2012 you will have to do 138,000 + 16.9%
To calculate this you have to do this:
138,000 x 0.169 = 23322
Now add 23,322, to 138,000 and you get 161,322.
A) 16.9%
B) 161,322
hope this helped :)
Answer:
y = -x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from the point (3, -4) to the point (5, -6), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 2. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/2, or -1.
Starting with the general slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we get y = mx + b => y = -1x + b.
Subbing -4 for y and 3 for x, we get
-4 = -1(3) + b, which yields b = -1
Thus, the desired equation is
y = -x - 1
4 or less: 4/8 so 1/2
6 or less: 6/8 so 3/4
8 or less: 8/8 so 1
