I can't find the formula of how to find the rate rather than the growth pls help

The population of a town increase exponentially at a rate of x% per year.

On Janurary 1st, 2000 the population was 50,000.

On Janurary 1st, 2015 the population was 63,000.

Find the vlaue of x (round to 3 significant figures)

answer: the first graph

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

the speed is   miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that  

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

for the point

substitute the values of x and y

the linear equation is equal to

statements

case a) it takes hours to go miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct

case b) the speed is   miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is

case c) the unit rate for the trip is

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took minutes to go the first miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct
