Question 1191234: Solve each problem by writing a linear function. When a new car is purchased, it immediately begins to lose value, or depreciate. If its depreciation is a linear function and a $28,550 new car depreciates to a value of $13,500 over a seven-year period, what is the rate of change? Write a linear function that models the value of the car over time. Use your function to predict the value of the car when it is ten years old.
