Question 1190104
In 4 years it grew 703.
It took 4 years, although I am interpreting from the same point in 2003 to the same point in 2007. If it were 1/1/03 to 12/31/07, it would obviously be 5 years.
average growth/yr is 703/4=175.75 people/yr
in 2000 3 years earlier, it was 3*175.75 fewer or 527 people or 904 people.
-
this would be 904+175.75t where t=years after 2000
-
in 2014 it would be 175.75*7=1230.25 or 1230 people more or 3364 people.
-
(3, 1431)(7,2134)
slope is 175.75
point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1) m slope  (x1, y1) point
y-1431=175.75(x-3)
y=175.75 x +904 where x is the years after 2000.
when x=14 y=3364.5, so depending on where one rounds, it is 3364 or 3365 people.
