Answer:F=7
Step-by-step explanation:
There would be 2034 students competing in 2012.
We can write a simple equation to find this answer. Let X, be the number of students starting in 2012. Then, we multiply by 0.9 and 1.1 to get to 2014. To work backwards, just divide by 1.1, then by 0.9.
2014 / 1.1 / 0.9 = 2034

Step-by-step explanation:
Find the y-values corresponding to x-values of 0 and 1, then plot those points and draw a line through them.
For x=0, ...
y = -4·0 -1 = -1 . . . . the point is (0, -1) . . . the y-intercept
For x=1, ...
y = -4·1 -1 = -5 . . . . the point is (1, -5)
The attached graph shows these points and the line through them.
