According to statista.com in 2008 the number of light vehicle sales in the United States was 10,402 thousand and in 2018 it was 17,213 thousand. (Hint: How many vehicles are 10,402 thousand vehicles?)

A) Determine the average rate of change (slope) from 2008 to 2018. Include the units. Explain the answer in the context of the problem.

B)If "t" is the number of years since 2008 and g(t) is the number of vehicles sold, write the equation of the line through these two points.

C) Assuming g(t) is a linear function, use the equation to predict the number of vehicles sold in 2020.
