The population of a town is 2100 and increasing at a rate of 1.3% per year, while the number of cats in the town is currently 10
00 and increasing at a rate of 8% per year. Assuming this trend continues, estimate when the cat population will exceed the human population in this town.
if you graph y = .013x + 2100 and y = .08 + 1000 you will see the lines intersect when the town population is 16,418 and the number of cats equals 2,313.
Your graph should be this one, with both lines solid because, the X line, or red, has to be at least -1 or higher, and the Y line, or the blue, has to be +4 or higher
