Step-by-step explanation:

A city's population in the year 1985 was 3,025,550. In 1981 the population was 3,024,550. Compute the slope of the population growth (or decline) and choose the most accurate statement from the following: The population is decreasing at a rate of 300 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 250 people per year. The population is decreasing at a rate of 100 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 250 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 100 people per year. The population is increasing at a rate of 300 people per year.
