1) in 2001, there were about 62.5 thousand golden retrievers registered in the united states. in 2002, the number was 56.1 thousand. which linear equation best represents this information?
(a) y = 6.4x + 2001
(b) y = -6.4x + 12868.9
(c) y = 6.4x - 12743.9
(d) y = -6.4x + 2002

Linear equation is y=ax+b
Its decreasing so u need - a
2001 and 2002 would be your x at liner equation so can't have them as b
so answer is B

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
