The population of Laredo, Texas, was about 215,500 in 2007. It was about 123,000 in 1990. If we assume that the population growth is constant and t represents the number of years after 1990, write a linear equation

y=5441t+123,000

Step-by-step explanation:

5441 is the population increase per year and 123,000 is when we start added the population increase. to get this equation i found the population increase between 2007 and 1990 which is 215,500-123,000 which is 92,500. to find the population increase per year you divide that by 17 which is the difference between 2007 and 1990 and you would get 5441.176. but since you can have part of a person i rounded it to 5441.

y=5441t+123000

We know the population was 215500 in 2007

We also know the population was about 123000 in 1990

So first we want to find the slope (m=y2-y1/x2-x1), we subtract those two numbers 215500-123000 and subtract 2007-19990. Leaving us with 92500/17, once you divide that you’ll get 5441.17647 . But since we are talking about people you round to the nearest whole number leaving us with 5441.

honestly bro aint no one got time to answer these dumb question just do it p***y
