Answer: \(P=1200x+35000\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
A town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003, the population was 35000, and the population has been growing by 1200 (constant rate of change) people each year.

The equation of a line is given by :-

\(y=mx+c\), where m is the slope ( constant rate of change) and c is the initial value of the function.

From the given statement , we have the equation for the population x years after 2003 :-

\(P=1200x+35000\)
