In 2009, a school population was 1,700. By 2017 the population had grown to 2,500. Assume the population is changing linearly.

Find an equation for the population, P, of the school t years after 2009.

Answer:

P(t) = 100t + 1900

Step-by-step explanation:

∆P = 2500 - 1700 = 800

∆t = 2017 - 2009 = 8

m = ∆p/∆t = 800/8 = 100

b = initial pop = 1900

using slope intercept form

P(t) = 100t + 1900
