Straight line depreciation is a linear equation. The current value y, of a certain company's piece of equipment after x years is y = 30,000 - 1000x.
a. Find the intial value of the equipment
b. Find the value after 4 years
c. Find the value after 6 years
d. Graph the depreciation line.
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) "initial value" means that x=0
And y=30,000 when x=0
b) when x=4 y=30000-1000(4)=26000
c) when x=6 y=30000-1000(6)=24000
d) the depreciation line passes through (0,30000), (4,26000), (6,24000)
as we determined in "a", "b", and "c".
Good luck with your studies.
Cheers,
stan H.
