1. Use the following information to answer the next question The Penny Ice Cap glacier in Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island is melting. Scientists have measured the thickness of the ice, 7, in feet periodically starting in the year 2001. The equation T(n) = -2n + 1921 models the thickness of the ice, in feet, n years after 2001. a) Explain what the slope of the line represents in this problem b) Determine the coordinate(s) of the x-intercept(s). Explain what this value means within the context of this problem c) Determine the coordinate of the y-intercept. Explain what this value means within the context of this problem d) Determine an appropriate domain and range be for this circumstance? Justify your decision for both.

Can someone please help me with question

1. D. - I already have the range correct which was (y l y >0<T<1921 Y∈R) but I got the domain incorrect and need to know how to do it in the same format.

Use the following information to answer the next question
The Penny Ice Cap glacier in Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island is
melting. Scientists have measured the thickness of the ice, 7, in feet
periodically starting in the year 2001.
The equation T(n) = -2n + 1921 models the thickness of the ice, in
feet, n years after 2001.
a) Explain what the slope of the line represents in this problem
b) Determine the coordinate(s) of the x-intercept(s). Explain what this
value means within the context of this problem
c) Determine the coordinate of the y-intercept. Explain what this value
means within the context of this problem
d) Determine an appropriate domain and range be for this circumstance?
Justify your decision for both.
