Answer:
7cm
Step-by-step explanation:
588 / 12 = 49
= 7 * Since 7 times 7 equals 49
Here's an example...
So, in our last example...
In the point ( -2, -1 ), x1 = -2 and y1 = -1 ... and, in the point ( 4, 3 ), x2 = 3 and y2 = 3
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( 3 - ( -1 ) ) / ( 4 - ( -2 ) ) = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3
But, notice something cool...
The order of the points doesn't matter! Let's switch them and see what we get:
In the point ( 4, 3 ), x1 = 4 and y1 = 3 ... and, in the point ( -2, -1 ), x2 = -2 and y2 = -1
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( -1 - 3 ) / ( -2 - 4 ) = -4 / -6 = 2 / 3 ... Same thing!
Let's try our new formula with the second example in the last lesson:
It was a line passing through
( -1, 4 ) and ( 2, -2 )
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( -2 - 4 ) / ( 2 - ( -1 ) ) = -6 / 3 = -2
Between 2000 and 2030 three decades will have gone by, which means the population will triple three times.
Therefore, the population of Bridgetown will be 675,000 people in 2030.
