We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,
y = mx + b
Substituting to this given the values given above,
(1990) 430 = b
(2000) 400 = m(10) + 430
The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,
y = -3x + 430
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.
We have the following line:
Thus, the slope is:
Then 
So, the line is of the form:
We substitute the point
and find b:
Thus, the equation is:
Answer:
The change in value over 5 years is expected to be
$55,000 - 4,300 = 50,700
Since this change in value is spread over 5 years, the amount of depreciation recorded for each full year will be
$50,700/5 = $10,140
The period from July 1 to December 31 is 6 months or 1/2 year, so the depreciation recorded the first year will be 1/2 the above amount:
(1/2)*$10,140 = $5,070
