Question

As the number of years decreases from 2 to 1 in the following graph, does the population increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answer 1

Given the graph of Time Vs. Population, you can identify that the x-axis represents the Time (in years), and the y-axis represents Population (in thousands),

Notice that, in this case, when:

`x=2`

The corresponding y-value is:

`y=4`

And when:

`x=1`

The y-value is:

`y=6`

Therefore, you can identify that as the number of years decreases from 2 to 1, the population increases.

Hence, the answer is: First option.
