Question 3 Consider the given population and year graph. Find the slope of the line AB and using it, find what will be the population in the year 2010? The two points given are A (1985, 92), B (1995, 97) Let plot a third point on line C (2010, y) Points A,B, C lie on the line So, A, B & C are collinear โˆด Slope of AB = Slope of BC We know that slope of a line through the points (x1, y1) (x2, y2) is m = (๐‘ฆ_2 โˆ’ ๐‘ฆ_1)/(๐‘ฅ_2 โˆ’ ๐‘ฅ_1 ) Slope of line AB joining points A(1985, 92) & B(1995, 97) m = (97 โˆ’ 92)/(1995 โˆ’ 1985) = 5/10 = 1/2 Slope of BC joining points B(1995, 97) & C(2010, y) m = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 97)/(2010 โˆ’ 1995) = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 97)/15 Thus, Slope of Line AB is ๐Ÿ/๐Ÿ Now, Slope of AB = Slope of BC 1/2 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 97)/15 15/2 = y โ€“ 97 7.5 = y โ€“ 97 7.5 + 97 = y y = 104.5 Hence, population in the year 2010 will be 104.5 crores
