Answer:

1) y = -2x - 1

2) y = -3/4 + 3

3) y = 4x + 9

4) y = - 5/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

b = y - m*x

1) (-7,13) and slope: -2

b = 13 - (-2)*(-7)

b = 13 - 14

b = -1

2) (4,6) lope = -3/4

b = 6 - (-3/4)*(-4)

b = 6 - 3

b = 3

y = -3/4x + 3

3) (-5,-11) and (3,-7)

Slope: (1 - - 11)/(-2 - - 5) = 12/3

= 4

b = -11 - (4) (-5) = 9

b = 9

4) slope = (-7 - 8)/(3- - 6)

= -15/9 = - 5/3

b = 8 - (-5/3)*(-6)

b = 8 - 10

b = -2

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:

<em>It will take 9 years for the population to double</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

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
