The population of a small town in central Florida has shown a linear decline in the years 2002-2013. In 2002 the population was 32000 people. In 2013 it was 25840 people. A) Write a linear equation expressing the population of the town, P , as a function of t , the number of years since 2002. Include the entire equation as your answer.

B) If the town is still experiencing a linear decline, what will the population be in 2018?

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.

you have to find the same variables -3n - 5n so this would be -3n +(-5n) which equals -9n
