In 1991, the moose population in a park was measured to be 3470. By 1996 the population was measured again to be 3520 . If the population continues to change linearly : A. Find the formula for the moose population P, in terms of t, the years since 1990
B. What does your model predict the moose population will be in 2009?

Ted and meg have each drawn a line on the scatter plot shown below: the graph shows numbers from 0 to 10 on x and y axes at increments of 1. dots are made at the ordered pairs 1, 8 and 2, 7.5 and 3, 6 and 4, 5.5 and 4.5, 4.8 and 5, 4 and 6, 3.5 and 7, 3 and 8, 1.9 and 9, 1.2 and 10, 0. a straight line labeled line p joins the ordered pairs 0, 8.5 and 10.1, 0. a straight line labeled line r joins the ordered pairs 0, 8.5 and 7.8, 0. which line best represents the line of best fit? line p, because it is closest to most data points line p, because it shows a positive association line r, because it is closest to most data points line r, because it shows a negative association
