15 Question 8 (10 points) d 18 Determine whether or not the function is linear. If it is, determine the slope and interpret it 21 The population of a small town is given by P()-59t12,350, where t is the number of years past 2010 24 a) Linear: 59, Each year since 2010, the population decreased by 59 people. b) Linear: 59: Each year since 2010, the population increased by 59 people. c) Linear; 12,350; Each year since 2010, the population increased by 12,350 people. d) Not linear 27 9 30 Save Question 9 (10 points) uestion 6 Saved Graph the scatter plot of the data.

Explanation / Answer

p(t) = 59t+12.350

comparing it with the equation of lime y =mx +c

m = slope = 59, y= p(t) , c = y intercept on the curve = 12.350

hence it s linear with the increase each year equal to the slope of the line i.e. 59
