In one town the annual consumption, b, of beef (in pounds per person) can be estimated by b = 32 -0.5t, where t is the number of years since 1975. Find and interpret the t-intercept of the graph of
this function.
OA. The t-intercept is 32 which means that, if this trend continues, the annual consumption of beef in this town will be zero pounds per person in the year 2039.
OB. The t-intercept is 64 which means that, if this trend continues, the annual consumption of beef in this town will be zero pounds per person in the year 2039.
OC. The t-intercept is 32 which means that the annual consumption of beef in this town was zero pounds per person in 1975.
OD. The t-intercept is 64 which means that the annual consumption of beef in this town was 64 pounds per person in 1975.

Use the model to estimate the rate for 2005 and 2020. Note: this means to plug n 2005 for t and simplify and then turn your answer into a percent.
