You have to multiply 3 x 6.
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
The slope is the factor in front of x, so slope is 9.
The y intercept is 7 (that's the point of cross the y axis, where x=0)
There are multiple definitions of "standard form" for lines, so here are the two i can think of:
9x - y = -7 (the implicit function form)
or
y-7 = 9*(x-0) (the point-slope form)
Lmk if you have questions.
The solution is as follows:
Set up the proportion:
70% - 98
90% - x
70% / 90% = 98 / x
7 / 9 = 98 /x
(7 / 9) x = 98
x = 98 x 9/7
x = 14 x 9
x = 126
The answer is <span>D. 126.
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>
<span>(−3, 0) and (0, 6)
Each of these work in both equations</span>
