You can put this solution on YOUR website! a washing machine was advertised at $2,044 at the end of 2014. Suppose that, if purchased new, it loses $77 in value each year.
Write a linear equation relating the value of the machine to the number of years since the machine has been bought. Write x for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable.
================
x = # of years
y = value
-----
y = 2044 - 77x

Write a linear equation relating the value of the machine to the number of years since the machine has been bought. Write x for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable.
-------
slope = change per year = -77
intercept = beginning value
------
y = -77x + 2044
