SAT Question 41fdc0b8: Answer, Explanation & Desmos Solution

Year	Population
$2000$	$862$
$2010$	$846$

The table above shows the population of Greenleaf, Idaho, for the years $2000$ and $2010$ . If the relationship between population and year is linear, which of the following functions $P$ models the population of Greenleaf $t$ years after $2000$ ?

Difficulty:Medium

$P (t) = 862 - 1.6 t$

$P (t) = 862 - 16 t$

$P (t) = 862 + 16 (t - 2000)$

$P (t) = 862 - 1.6 (t - 2000)$
