Question

The marriage rate per 1000 population for the years 1987-2009 is given by M a. Why is this a linear function, with y = M(x)? =-0.147x + 17.07 5, where x is the number of years after 1980. b. What is the slope? What does this slope say about the number of unmaried women who get married? A. This a linear function because x and y appear to the second power B. This a linear function because y is alone on the left side of the equation. C. This a linear fuhction because each of the variables x and y appear to the first power and it is written in the form y ax+b. 0 D. This a linear function because x and y are not in separate terms. b. What is the slope? (Type an integer or a decimal.) What does this slope say about the number of unmarried women who get married? Choose the correct answer below O A. It increased at a rate of 17 075 per thousand per year O B. It increased at a rate of 0.147 per thousand per year O C.
