Answer:
In the year 2010, the population of the city was 175,000
Step-by-step explanation:
If we rewrote this as a linear expression in standard form (it is linear, btw), it would look like this:
The rate of change, the slope of this line, is 11/2. If the year 2010 is our time zero (in other words, we start the clock at that year), then 0 time has gone by in the year 2010. In the year 2011, t = 1 (one year goes by from 2010 to 2011); in the year 2012, t = 2 (two years have gone by from 2010 to 2012), etc. If we plug in a 0 for t we get that y = 175,000. That is our y-intercept, which also serves to give us the starting amount of something time-related when NO time has gone by.
The formula to find the slope of a line is m =
where the x's and y's are your given coordinates and m is your slope. So, plug in your coordinates and solve.
m = <span>
![\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} Plug in your coordinates m = [tex] \frac{-2 - 7}{8 - -1} Cancel out the double negative m = [tex] \frac{-2 - 7}{8 + 1} Simplify m = [tex] \frac{-9}{9} Divide m = -1 Now, plug that slope and one set of your given coordinates into point-slope form, [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7By_2%20-%20y_1%7D%7Bx_2%20-%20x_1%7D%20%20%20Plug%20in%20your%20coordinates%20%3C%2Fspan%3Em%20%3D%20%3Cspan%3E%5Btex%5D%20%5Cfrac%7B-2%20-%207%7D%7B8%20-%20-1%7D%20%20%20Cancel%20out%20the%20double%20negative%20%3C%2Fspan%3Em%20%3D%20%3Cspan%3E%5Btex%5D%20%5Cfrac%7B-2%20-%207%7D%7B8%20%2B%201%7D%20%20%20Simplify%20%3C%2Fspan%3Em%20%3D%20%3Cspan%3E%5Btex%5D%20%5Cfrac%7B-9%7D%7B9%7D%20%20%20Divide%20m%20%3D%20-1%20%20%3C%2Fspan%3E%20Now%2C%20plug%20that%20slope%20and%20one%20set%20of%20your%20given%20coordinates%20into%20point-slope%20form%2C%20%5Btex%5Dy%20-%20y_1%20%3D%20m%28x%20-%20x_1%29)
. I'll use (-1, 7).
<span>
Plug in your points and slope
</span>y - 7 = -1(x - -1) Cancel out the double negative
y - 7 = -1(x + 1) Use the Distributive Property
y - 7 = -x - 1 Add 7 to both sides
y = -x + 6
</span>
2|y+ 3| = 8
|y+3| = 4
y = 1, 7 or -7
hope this helps
Answer:
(-6,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
By reading the question you can determine that point E is to the east, or the right, of point F by 9 units. This ultimately means you must subtract 9 units on the horizontal (x-axis) in order to get to point F.
Answer:-5
Step-by-step explanation:
