Solve the problem.Suppose that the population of a certain town, in thousands, was 105 in 1990 and 141 in 2002. Assume that the population growth can be approximated by a straight line. Find the equation of a line which will estimate the population of the town, in thousands, in any given year since 1990.
A. y = 3x + 105 where x is the number of years since 1990
B. y = 2.5x + 105 where x is the number of years since 1990
C. y = -3x + 177 where x is the number of years since 1990
D. y = 4.25x + 90 where x is the number of years since 1990
