Business The number of barrels of crude oil (in millions) imported to the United States from Canada was 492 in 2000 and 651 in 2006.* Assume the amount imported is increasing linearly.
(a) Find the linear equation that gives the number of barrels imported from Canada, with x = 0 corresponding to 2000.
(b) Assume the linear trend continues indefinitely in either direction. Determine when the number of barrels exceeds 550 million.
(c) When is the number of barrels higher than 700 million?
