Solution

1987 the population is 33600

1996 the population is 27300

Linear equation is y=mx+c

P=33600 - mt

27300 = 33600 - mt

27300- 33600= -mt

-6300= -9t

Dividing both sides by -9

T=700

The linear equation is

P = 33600- 700t

PART B

T= 2000 - 1987

T= 13

The population in 2000 is

P = 33600- 700(13)

P = 33600 - 9100

P = 24,500
