The population of a certain town is growing at a constant rate. suppose the population is 1600 initially, and after 5 years, the population is 2110. which of these expresses the rate at which the population is increasing?

we are given

the population is 1600 initially

so, we will get first point as

(0,1600)

after 5 years, the population is 2110

so, we will get another point as

(5,2110)

Since, the population of a certain town is growing at a constant rate

so, we can use average rate formula

now, we can plug values

and we get

the rate at which the population is increasing is 102 people per year.......Answer

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
