Analyzing a Linear Model to Make Predictions

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 3
and passes through the point (4, -5)

• y - 5 = 3 (x - 4)
• y + 4 = 3 (x - 5)
• y - 5 = 3(x + 4)
• y + 5 = 3(x - 4)

The population of a town was 35,000 people this year, and is predicted to increase by 750 people each year from now on.  We can model this with y=35000+750x, where x is the number of years in the future, and y is the total population of the town.  How big is the town this year?

• 35,000 people
• 35, 750 people
• 0 people
• 350,000 people

• A
• B
• C
• D
