In 2009, a town's population was about 9,000 residents. In 2014, the population was about 12,500 residents. Which linear model represents the town's population, p, as a function of t, the time in years after 2007

Population function (Based on 2007) =  7,600 + 700n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Population in 2009 = 9,000

Population in 2014 = 12,500

Computation:

Increase in population per year = [12,500 - 9,000] / 5

Increase in population per year = 700

Population in 2007 = 9,000 - [2 x 700]

Population in 2007 = 7,600

Population function (Based on 2007) =  7,600 + 700n

n = number of year

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

the answer is c

hope this !
