Question

A group of biologists is surveying the mice population in a forest. The equatio n=75 times 3t gives the total number of mice, n, t years after the survey began. What does the number 3 mean in the situationA: the common difference B: The total populationC: the common ratioD: the slope

Answer 1

A linear function is given by the expression:

y=mx+b,

since 3 is the coefficient of the variable of interest we can say that's the slope.
