One more than 16 times the population density of new mexico equals the population density of texas. to the nearest whole number what is new mexico's population density? the population density of texas is 80

The population density of New mexico is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the population density of new Mexico,

∵ The population density of Texas = 16 times of the population density of new mexico

= 16 times of x + 1

= 16x + 1

According to the question,

16x + 1 = 80

16x = 80 - 1

16x = 79

⇒ x = = 4.9375 ≈ 5

Hence, the population density of New mexico is 5.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
