Let me express my opinion that posting tens and tons the same type TWIN problems/questions is a VERY STRANGE method learnning Math.
(and to use tutors' voluntary help).

Comment from student: If you are not going to answer my question, then please allow someone else to answer it. Thank you.
My response. I just want to explain you DO NOT CREATE unnecessary problems for yourself.
Doing in this way as you do, you simply work AGAINST YOURSELF, against YOUR OWN INTERESTS.
Placing tons same type questions, you demonstrate that learning is not your goal.

(1979, 1,104,850)
(1974, 1,104,100)
m = 750/5 = 150
The population is increasing at a rate of 150 people per year.

The description gives two points: (1974, 1104100) and (1979, 1104850).
Those are in the form (x, y) for ( year, population ).
If the two points are expected to be linear, then slope is . Whatever else you are looking for is most likely obvious.
