Answer:
A) car one is linear because it decreases the same amount every year.
car two decreases by the same ratio so it's exponential.
B) for car one y = -6,000x + 38,000 (y is the value after x years, -6,000 is what it changes by every year, and 38,000 is the amount of year 0)
for car two y = (44,000) (17/20)x-1 (y is the value after x years, 44,000 is the amount on year 0, and 17/20 is the ratio)
C) after 5 years car one will be 8,000
after 5 years car two will be about 16,860
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing the three zeros of the equation, we can set it up as follows:
Multipying the first two expressions together gives us the following:
Multiplying the two expressions together gives us the following:
Answer:
y = -3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
First, we find the slope of the line using the two given points.
m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-7))/(-1 - 2) = (2 + 7)/(-3) = 9/(-3) = -3
Now we plug in the slope we found into the equation above.
y = -3x + b
We need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use point (2, -7), so x = 2, and y = -7.
y = -3x + b
-7 = -3(2) + b
-7 = -6 + b
Add 6 to both sides.
-1 = b
Now we plug in -1 for b.
y = -3x - 1
