Question

In 1993, the moose population in a park was measured to be 4730. By 1997, the population was measured again to be 4330. If the population continues to change linearly.

Answer 1

Answer: The rate of change in population is 100 per year.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

In 1993, the population = 4730

In 1997, the population = 4330

So, it means, population continues to change linearly.

So, the slope of population to get change would be

`(4730-4330)/(1997-1993)\\\\=(400)/(4)\\\\=100`

Hence, the rate of change in population is 100 per year.
