Amouse population is 25,000 and is decreasing in size at a rate of 20% per year. what is the mouse population after 3 years? a.) write an equation to show work. b.) what is the answer to the question?

The equation is

A=p (1-r)^t

A future population ?

P current population 25000

R rate of decreases 0.25

T time 3years

A=25,000×(1−0.25)^(3)

A=10,546.88

Hope it helps!

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
