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?

Hi,
purchased new computer equiptment for $25,000.00
(0, 25,000) represents the purchase price
and the point (5,0) represents when the equiptment will be replaced.
y = -5000x + 25,000
Ater 2 years (x = 2)
y = -5000*2 + 25,000 = 15,000
