Hello there!
The first thing you must do is to find the slope of the line. To do this, find the negative reciprocal of your current equation. Since your current slope is 3, the negative reciprocal of that would be -1/3, which would be your slope.
Now that you have your slope, plug it into the slope intercept equation as well as your known points:
(1,8) m(slope)=-1/3
8=1(-1/3)+b
Now, solve for b:
8=1(-1/3)+b
8=-1/3+b
b=25/3
Now that you have the slope and the b value, you can conclude that your equation would be:
y=-1/3x+25/3
Answer:
100,000
Step-by-step explanation:
70,000 people = 70% of the population.
Divide 70,000 by 70 to get the number of population per 1%:
70000 ÷ 70 = 1000
Therefore, 1000 people represent 1% of the population.
To calculate 100% of the population, multiply the number of people representing 1% by 100:
1000 x 100 = 100,000
Therefore, the population of the town = 100,000
