Answer:
C. y = 2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the points (0, -4) and (2, 0).
y = mx + b (m is slope, b is y-intercept)
m = delta y / delta x
m = 4 / 2
m = 2
y = 2x + b
We can plug in (2, 0):
0 = 4 + b
b = -4
y = 2x - 4
Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
In 3 metres there are 300 centimetres. Each centimetre on the scale is 300 centimeters, or a ratio of 1:300. The tree is 5 centimetres on the scale. Each centimeter on the scale is 300 centimetres, therefore 5 centimetres on the scale is 1500 centimetres. 1500 centimetres is equal to 15 metres.
Step-by-step explanation:
ED = EB
2x +3 = 5x -15
3+15=5x -2x
18 = 3x
18 ÷ 3 = x
x = 6
