The population of the united states was about 280 million in 2000 and about 310 million in 2010. what was the annual rate of change in population from 2000 to 2010

To find the annual rate of chnge, we have to use the following formula

P(2010) represents the population in the year 2010 and P(2000) represents the population in the year 2000 .

Substituting the values, we will get

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
