In 2003 , the owl population in a park was measured to be 340 . By 2007 , the population was measured to be 285 . The population changed linearly. Let the input be years since 2003 .
Added by Jose Luis D.
Step 1
To find the change in population, subtract the initial population from the final population: 285 - 340 = -55. Show more…
