No don't pleeeeeeassssseeer
The answer is D because of the formula "y=mx+b"
the slope is always connected to the x, and "b" is the y axis point of the two coordinate pairs, so it would be minus eight if the coordinate pairs were (0, -8).

m= slope
b= y axis point of the two coordinate pairs
Answer:
The sales will surpass 37 million in about 2013.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer can be found via solving an exponential inequality as follows:

Any number of years larger than 12.6 will satisfy the inequality, i.e., after more than 12.6 years from year 2000, the annual sales will surpass 37 million. The answer to the exact question will then be: in about 2013 the sales will surpass 37 million.
