Step 1
(a)
Consider the increase in number of cats in four weeks is,
Then, the rate of increase of cat per day is,
Since, cats were 48000 before 28 days and 50000 at present then the corresponding points are .
Then, the equation to model the given condition, that is to find the number of cats in Eugene as a function of the number of days from today is,
Here, x is the number of days and y is the number of cats.
