Question

The value of almost everything you own (assets), such as a car, computer, or house, depreciates (goes down) over time. when an asset’s value decreases by a fixed amount each year, the depreciation is called straight-line depreciation. suppose your truck has an initial value of $12,400 and depreciates $820 per year. what two variables are involved in this problem? which variable can best be designated as the dependent variable? as the independent variable? a. independent variable - amount of depreciation per year; dependent variable - number of years you own the truck. b. independent variable - value of the truck; dependent variable - amount of depreciation per year. c. independent variable - number of years you own the truck; dependent variable - value of the truck. d. independent variable - value of the truck; dependent variable - number of years you own the truck.

Answer 1

The final value of the truck after depreciation and the number of years you own the truck are the two variables in this problem.  

The dependent variable is the final value of truck after depreciation and the independent variable is the number of years you own the truck.

We are given that the initial value of truck is $12,400 and depreciation value per year is $820.

We know that,

Final Value = Initial Value - Depreciation value per year * Number of years

Let Final value be y

Let the number of years be x.

Hence, the equation will be:-

y = 12400 - 820*x

y = 12400-820x

We can clearly see from the equation that the final value of truck will depend on the number of years you own the truck.
