Question 912302: A new car car worth $24,000 is depreciating in value by $3000 per year. The mathematical model y=-3000x+24,000
describe the car's value, y in dollars after x years.
a. Find the x-intercept. Describe what this means in terms of the car's value.
b. Find the y-intercept. Describe what this means in terms of the car's value.
c. Use the intercepts to graph the linear equation. Because x and y must be nonnegative (why), limit your graph to quadrant 1 and its boundaries.
d. Use your graph to estimate the car's value after five years.
