The population growth of a city since 1900 is represented by a linear model. Interpret the slope and the y-intercept.
(1 point)
A. For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,590. in 1900, the population was 20,000.
B. For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 300. In 1900, the population was 0.
C. For every 0.65 of a year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,000. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
D. For evert year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 650. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
PLS HELP!!
Based on the information provided, the correct interpretation is:
A. For every year since 1900, the population grew by approximately 1,590. In 1900, the population was 20,000.
This interpretation represents the slope and y-intercept of the linear model. The slope of approximately 1,590 indicates that the population is increasing by that amount each year. The y-intercept of 20,000 represents the initial population in the year 1900 before any growth occurred.
