Hello there!
The expected population for Valleytown cannot be modeled with an exponential function since it is not being multiplied nor divided. This would be an arithmetic function/sequence since it is adding. It also has a fixed increase value while in an exponential function it changes.
Pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2 (C^2 always is the hypotenuse)
21^2+b^2=29^2
441+b^2=841
841-441=400
square root of 400 is 20
Your answer is 20
The equation that represents the total number of stamps malik collected is x + y = 212. The equation that represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected is: x - y = 34. This is the system of two equations. Malik has a total of 212 stamps: x + y = 212. He has 34 more domestic stamps (x) than foreign stamps (y): x = y + 34. If we rearrange it, we have x - y = 34. So, this is the system of two equations: x + y = 212 and x - y = 34.<span>

Answer:
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the line
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have the ordered pairs
(3,-5) and (1,-9)
substitute the values



step 2
Find the equation in point slope form

Analyze two cases
<em>First case</em>
we have


substitute

<em>Second case</em>
we have


substitute

Note: The equation of the line in point slope form varies according to the point you choose, in contrast to the slope-intercept form
