The population of Laredo, Texas, was about 215,500 in 2007. It was about 123,000 in 1990. If we assume that the population growt

h is constant, write a linear equation with an integer slope to represent p, Laredo’s population t years after 1990.

Answer:

hello, This can be solved using your standard rise over run slope calculation.  Think of the number of years after 1990 as your input variable.  2007 would be 17 years after 1990, so the "y" variable would be 17.  This is your "run", and it goes in the denominator of your slope calculation.  Then the difference between the 2007 population and the 1990 population would be the "p" variable difference, the "rise", which is 92500.  Dividing, you will get 5441.17.  Since we're talking about humans, we can't have a decimal, so let's round up to 5442.

 

Using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = ax + b), we will say that p = 5442y + 123000.  Do you know why we add the 123000?  It's because that's the starting value, which is equivalent to the "intercept" in the slope-intercept form.

 

Hope this helps.

Well can somebody help me ‍♀️
Rasek [7]
Yes, the new coordinates would be:

R': (9,9)
P': (3,3)
Q': (9,3)

You would multiply all of the current coordinates by three (its scale factor of enlargement) to obtain these answers. Hope this helps!

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

The subcommittee needs to contain 1 out of 3 freshmen, 1 out of 4 sophomores, 1 out of 5 juniors and 1 out of 2 seniors. Assuming order is not important, the number of possibilities to pick the subcommittee members is given by:

N=5*4*3*2=120

There are 120 possible subcommittees.
