Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

We can plug in the given coordinates into the equation:

$\frac{-7-(-1)}{-5-(-5)} =\frac{-7+1}{-5+5} =\frac{-6}{0}$

The slope is undefined

The population of a city grows exponentially at rate of 8% per year.Find the number of years it takes for the population to be d

Ilya [14]

Answer:

It will take 9 years for the population to double

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Growth

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

$P=P_o(1+r)^t$

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

The population of a city grows at a rate of r=8% = 0.08 per year. We are required to find when (t) the population will double, or P=2Po.

Substituting in the equation:

$2P_o=P_o(1+0.08)^t$

Simplifying:

$2=(1.08)^t$

Taking logarithms:

$\log 2=\log (1.08)^t$

Applying the exponent property of logs:

$\log 2=t\log (1.08)$

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\log 2}{\log (1.08)}$

Calculating:

$t\approx 9$

It will take 9 years for the population to double
