- Sales Barnes & Noble had annual sales of $6.8 billion in 2013 and $6.1 billion in 2015. Use the Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2014. Assume that the annual sales followed a linear pattern.arrow_forwardGlobal Warming In 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that the average temperature on Earth would rise 0.3C per decade in the absence of international controls on greenhouse emissions. Let t measure the time in years since 1970, when the average global temperature was 15C. Source: Science News. a. Find a linear equation giving the average global temperature in degrees Celsius in terms of t, the number of years since 1970. b. Scientists have estimated that the sea levels will rise by 65cm if the average global temperature rises to 19C. According to your answer to part a, when would this occur?arrow_forward
