Question

NEED HELP !!!!!

The first time a census was taken in Michele Corners, the population was 1772. Each year after that, the population was about 9% 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?



(1, 1772)
(0, 1772)
(1772, 0)
(1772, 1)

Answer 1

Given that x represent the number of years since the first census was taken, this means that the first time census was taken was counted as x = 0.

Given that the first time a census was taken in Michele Corners, the population was 1772.

Therefore, the coordinates of the point that contains the ­y-intercept is (0, 1772)
