The population of a small town in central Florida has shown a linear decline in the years 2003-2013. In 2003 the population was 43400 people. In 2013 it was 36500 people. A) Write a linear equation expressing the population of the town, P , as a function of t , the number of years since 2003. Include the entire equation as your answer.

B) If the town is still experiencing a linear decline, what will the population be in 2016?

c-4 is the final answer! : )

should have been evaluated with one odd value and one even value. the expressions have equivalent values when . when , the first expression has a value of 3 and the second

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
