Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.

I need help with both

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part 1: 114,570,685 people

Part 2: The population grew by 2.5% (1,722,862 people)

Step-by-step explanation: For part 1 you would multiply 100,236,820 by 1.143 because of the fact that your percentage is increasing. so the 1 before the decimal point stands for 100% of the starting number and the .143 stands for the 14.3% that the population is increasing by.

Part 2 you would divide 53,594,378 by 55,317,240 to get approximately .975. .975 shows that 53,594,378 is about 97.5% of 55,317,240. You then subtract the numbers 100 and 97.5 to get 2.5. 2.5 is the percentage that the population is increasing by. So, then you could just subtract 55,317,240 and 53,594,378 to get 1,722,862. This is the amount of people the population increased by. Then you just put your answer that the population increased. That it increased by 2.5% and 2.5%= 1,722,862 people

I hope this helps you :)
