Question 1053967: The value of a car decreases at a constant rate. After 1 year the value of the car is $20,000. After 2 more years it is $14,000. Write an equation in slope-intercept that represents the value y (in dollars) of the car after x years. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The value of a car decreases at a constant rate. After 1 year the value of the car is $20,000. After 2 more years it is $14,000. Write an equation in slope-intercept that represents the value y (in dollars) of the car after x years.
-----
after 1 yr:: 20000
after 2 yr:: 14000 = 20000-6000
-----
original::20000+6000 = 26000
-------------------
Equation:
V(x) = 26000 - 6000x
