how to solve the birth rate in a certain country in 1994 was 14.6 births per thousand population. in 2004 the birth rate was 14.32 births per thousand. let x represent years after 1994 and y represent the birth rate. assume the relationship is linear

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to write a linear equation that relates y in terms of x

The Birth Rate in 1994 =  14.6 births per thousand population.

The Birth Rate in 2004 =  14.32 births per thousand population.

A linear equation is of the form y=mx+b, where:

Step 1: Determine the birth rate per year

In 1994, x=0, y=14.6 thousands

In 2004, x=10, y=14.32 thousands

Substituting m into our linear equation, we have:

When x=10, y=14.32

Therefore, a linear equation that relates y in terms of x is:

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80

answer: its the third option.
