In the year 2000, there were 5,000 people living in the town of clairmont. by 2010, the population had grown to 5,600. what is the percent of change in the population from 2000 to 2010?

88.3%
11%
12%
-20%

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

a - base

b - exponent

so,
