A certain mountain has an elevation of 19,210 feet. In 1907, the glacier on this peak covered 6 acres. By 2000, this glacier had melted to only 1 acre.
a.) Assume that this glacier melted at a constant rate each year. Find this yearly rate.
b.) Use your answer from part a to write a linear equation that gives the acreage A of this glacier t years past 1907.
The fomula to solve this would help me out immensely, thank you so much!
