A) T(m) = -0.16m +331.3
B) T(2015) = 8.9 . . . seconds

The linear regression function of a graphing calculator can find the equation of the line easily. Or, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line.
.. T(m) = (10.5 -14.5)/(2005 -1980)*(m -1980) +14.5
.. T(m) = -0.16(m -1980) +14.5
When you increase something by 40%, multiply the something by 1.4
210*1.4=294
The answer is $294
Hope this helps!
