The first time a census was taken in esinville, the population was 12,621. each year after that, the population was about 6% higher than it was the previous year. sketch the graph that represents the situation. let x represent the number of years since the first census was taken. what are the coordinates of the point that contains the ­y-intercept?   (12,621,  0) (0,  12,621) (1, 12,621) (12,621,  1)

Answer : (0, 12,621)

The first time a census was taken in Esinville, the population was 12,621. Each year after that, the population was about 6% higher than it was the previous year.

Let x represent the number of years since the first census

Initial population is 12,621

At x=0 the initial population is 12621

We know population is y

At x=0  then y = 12621

We know, at y intercept the value of x is 0

The coordinates of y intercept is always (0,y)

We know at x=0 we got y = 12621

So y intercept is (0,12,621)
