The average fleet-wide performance of light duty trucks has made constant improvement since 1980. For example, the time for the
average 1080 light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was about 14.5 seconds. For 2005 models, that time was only 10.5 seconds.
A) Let m be the model year of a light-duty truck and T be the time in seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Write a linear function T(m) to model the situation.
B) Use your answer to part (A) to predict the time it will take the average light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2015, if the trend continues.
