The point (0, 25,000) represents the purchase price and the point (5,0) represents when the equiptment will be replaced. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models the value of the equiptment, y, x years after purchase. Use the model to predict the value of the equiptment after 2 year? \n" ); document.write( "
