Consider the following population and year graph, find the slope of the line AB and using it, find what will be the population in the year 2010?

Explanation

Given points are `A(1985, 92) ` and `B(1995, 97).`

So,Slope of
`AB=(97−92)/(1995−1985)
=5/(10)=1/2`

Let population in year 2010 be x crores.

then `C(2010, x)` lies on the line.


∴ Slope of `BC=(y−97)/(2010−1995)`

`=(y−97)/(15)`
