P1 Ch5 Straight Line Graphs

The document covers the basics of straight line graphs, including finding equations for parallel and perpendicular lines, and calculating distances and areas related to these lines. It also discusses linear modeling of population growth in a residential estate over time, providing examples of how to derive equations and assess the validity of the model based on population data. Key concepts include gradients, intercepts, and the relationship between points on a graph.

Linear Modelling
The number of inhabitants of a new residential estate is tracked over several years.
The population, 𝑃, was measured 𝑡 years after the estate was built.

Exactly 1 year after being built, the population was 120 inhabitants.
Exactly 3 years after being built, the population was 260 inhabitants.

a) Using a linear model, find an equation linking 𝑃 with 𝑡.

b) 10 years after being built, the residential estate had a population of 990 inhabitants.
Explain whether or not this fact supports the use of the linear model in (a)
