Will give brainliest  the function y=10,942(1.175)^n represents the population of nates hometown, where n is the # of decades since 1960. nate wants to rewrite the function to show growth per year. he rewrites the function as y=10,942(1.175)^n where n is now the # of years since 1960. did he write it correctly? if so explain why, if not explain why and write the correct function

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
