Question

Like I seriously have been asking for help for days already and I just need ONE question answered because I already have answers for a and c but WHAT ABOUT B. please help!

Answer 1

For a. it is y+mx=c and for c it is 2600, correct?
I'm not sure about b.

Answer 2

@Wazzabob

Answer 3

why would A be y+mx=c?

Answer 4

Uh I'm not too sure I am really horrible at math so

Answer 5

the rate of change of the population

Answer 6

if you tell yourself you're bad at math, then you're right.
your first step is just to graph the points on the plot. e.g., for the point (2000, 1605), you plot a point just above 1600 on the y-axis for the x-coordinate 2000.

Answer 7

the slope is the rate of change: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
just apply it to the specific situation, therefore the rate of change of the population during a year

For part c) you should extrapolate the graph and use the formula to find the population

Answer 8

sorry for being picasso btw

Answer 9

I already graphed the points ...

Answer 10

This whole thing just doesn't make sense to me and I really have to turn it in tomorrow because my grade went so much down because of this assignment

Answer 11

ya as i told you
for part b: the slope represent the rate of change of the population

Answer 12

so... like I should write 2002-2004?

Answer 13

just write "the slope represent the rate of change of the population"

Answer 14

Thank You x. And the answer for A is incorrect? like the y+mx+c

Answer 15

c. 2600 is correct,r ight?

Answer 16

give the exact value value u got for c plz

Answer 17

2414?

Answer 18

i got 2699.88888....
so rounding it up will give 2700

Answer 19

ok let me explain it to u:

- first you have to find the slope of the line for this u can take any points provided to you in the table

then you got to use the formula y=mx+c ( m is the gradient(slope) and c is a constant)
substitute the value u got for the gradient in the formula above and also any point provided to you in the table as the value of y and x. And you solve for "c"

Answer 20

having done this just replace the x value(2013) in the formula u obtain in step 2 and you will get the right answer

Answer 21

to frid slope:


(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2363-1605)/(2009-2000) = 84.22222...


to find constant,c :

y=mx+c

y=84.22222x+c

1605=84.22222(2000)+c

c= -166389.4444

Therefore : y = 84.22222x - 166389.4444


to find population in 2013:

use:
y = 84.22222x - 166389.4444

y = 84.22222(2013) - 166389.4444

y = 2699.88...

answer = 2699

Answer 22

hope u understood the concept, this is the basic you got to understand that in orrder to solve other problems in the future
