The population of a once-endangered animal species has been increasing. From the data in the table, use a graphing calculator to find a linear equation that describes the relationship between the year, t, and ln P. Then find an exponential relationship between t and P. P is in thousands.

Hello.

When dealing with debts, as sad as it is, the greater the number with a negative sign, the more in debt you are.

We currently have -$150 as a debt. Any number higher than this, such as -$200, is in debt. However, if we have $200, we are not in debt; it all matters on your signs, so always watch out for those!

We have the following answer choices:
A.) -$175
B.) -$150
C.) -$125
D.) $0

While all of these are theoretically in debt or 'broke', only one of these answer choices are more in debt than -$150. Remember what I said: Take the higher number that has a negative sign, and that number is in more debt.
The only answer choice that matches that description is answer choice
"A.) -$175" as it has a higher number with a negative sign. The rest of these are equal or lower than your debt.

Your correct answer choice is "A.) -$175"

I  hope this helps!
