From the problem, the population increases by 100 each year.
a constant increase of 100 means that the slope of a line is 100.
Slope is the same as constant increase or rate of increase.
The equation of the line with a slope is :
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]where m is the slope and b is the initital population.
Since we dont have an initital population, b = 0.
The equation will be :
[tex]y=100x[/tex]It is stated also that P represents the population that has increased. So y will be p.
and t represent the number of years. So x will be t.
That will be :
[tex]p=100t[/tex]ANSWER :
The equation is p = 100t
