Chapter 4: Q27. (page 271)

In 2000, a camp had 450 campers. Five years later, the number of campers rose to 750. Write a linear equation that represents the number of campers that attend camp.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required equation is $N = 450 + 60 t$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Determine the formula that can be used.

The standard form associated with the slope and the intercept form related to the line that is straight $y = m x + c$ in which the slope is represented by m and the y-intercept is represented by c can be used to write the required equation.

Step 2. Take the help of the obtained method.

Determine the growth associated with campers for each year.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{750 - 450}{5} = \frac{300}{5} \\ = 60 \end{matrix}$

Take the help of obtained standard form represented by $y = m x + c$ in which the required values can be filled by using the obtained growth, initial count of campers, t which represents the time and N which will represent the count.

$N = 450 + 60 t$

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

The obtained equation is $N = 450 + 60 t$ so it is the required equation.
