Responses

y=10,000x+2,760,065
y is equal to 10 comma 000 x plus 2 comma 760 comma 065

y=10,000x−2,760,065
y is equal to 10 comma 000 x minus 2 comma 760 comma 065

y=−10,000x+2,760,065
y is equal to negative 10 comma 000 x plus 2 comma 760 comma 065

y=2,760,065x+10,000

Answer 1

y = 10,000x + 2,760,065

Reason: slope = increase per year = 10,000, and y-intercept = current population at x = 0 = 2,760,065.
