a certain mountain has an elevation of 19,143 feet. In 1904, the glacier on this peak covered 8 acres. By 2002 this glacier had melted to only 1 acre. Assume that this glacier melted at a constant rate each year. Find this yearly rate. Use your answer from part A to write a linear equation that gives the acreage A of this glacier t years past 1904. The yearly rate of change is blank acres/year. What is the equation that gives the acreage of the glacier t years after 1904? A =______
