Hi! So by looking at your graph, you want to find the slope. First you want to find to points and find the distance between the two. I’ll use the points (-8,4) and (-2,2). Starting at (-8, 4), move down 2 and right 6. This shows that your slope will be -2/6 (further simplified to -1/3)?

Now, looking at each equation given to you in standard form, which will have a slope of -1/3? Your first answer, 2x+6y = 8, has a slope of -1/3, with a y-intercept value of 4/3 (or 1.5). If you look back at your graph again, you can see that the y-intercept is 1.5, so your answer will be A. :)

The population of a certain town was 10,000 in the year 2000 the town manager predicted that for the next 20 years the populatio

Bond [772]

The population of the town from 2000 to 2020 is modeled by the equation:

$p(t)=10000(1.05)^{t}$

Where t is the number of years since 2000.

We have to find the expected population of the town in 2002. The number of years from 2000 to 2002 are 2, so we have to find p(2). Replacing t by 2 in the above equation, we get:

$p(2)=10000(1.05)^{2} \\ \\ 
p(2)=11025$

So, according to the model, the population of town in 2002 is predicted to be 11,025.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$24.15

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you take 15% and make it into a decimal which is .15.

Then you times it by $21. 21*.15=3.15.

You then take the $3.15 and add it to $21 to get

$24.15 as your answer.
