The population of rock springs is growing at a constant rate. the expression represents the increase in population in x years. 45,200 + 1,900x how much does the population increase each year? a) 0 b) 1,900 c) 45,200 d) 47,100

The function is given by

y=45,200 + 1,900x

and is of the form y = mx+b , where m is the rate of change and b is the fixed value ( or we can say initial value)

Now when we compare we get m = 1,900 for our problem .

So the population increases every year by 1,900.

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
