Use what you've learned in this unit to model the population of Western
1 answer:
The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.
An exponential function is represented as:
Where:
- (a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
- (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.
- (x) represents the number of years since 2022
- (y) represents the population in x years
Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)
Take for instance:
By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

Answer
Option (A) is correct .
Reason
The formula for the slope.
As given
Line AB contains (0, 4) and (1, 6) .
put in the slope formula
Slope of the AB is 2.
As given
Line CD contains points (2, 10) and (−1, 4).
put in the slope formula
Slope = 2
Slope of the CD is 2.
As the slope of the AB contains (0, 4) and (1, 6) Line CD contains points (2, 10) and (−1, 4) is 2 .
Therefore the option (A) is correct i.e the lines are parallel because the slopes are the same.
