The population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012. assume that mastertowns population increases at a rate of 2% per year. write an equation to model the population of mastertown (y) based on numbers of years since 2012 (x)

 y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x

Step by step solution:

Population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012

mastertowns population increases at a rate of 2% per year

By using the following equation :

y= a(1+r)^n

a= initial amount  

n = the number of years  

r= growth rate

Keeping the above statement in mind -> Population of mastertown (y) based on numbers of years since 2012 (x)

a = 23000

An increase by 2%  

r = 2/100 = 0.02

So the final equation would be :

y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x

gdp is the best phrase!

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
