Write an equation to represent the population of Western Lowland Gorillas. Let y equal the population of the gorillas and x represent the number of years since 2022.
Find the population after 5, 10 and 20 years.
The equation can be represented as follows:
y = mx + b
Since x represents the number of years since 2022, the initial year (x = 0) will be 2022. So, after we determine the values of m and b, we will be able to find the population at any given year.
To find the values of m and b, we need some additional information or data about the population. If you can provide any information such as the initial population or the growth rate, we would be able to determine the specific equation.
