To find the slope use the formula Y2-Y1 --------- X2-X1 (-1,-4) (1,4) 4- -4 = 8 ------------- 1- -1 = 2 8/2=4 This will be your slope Y=4x Now we must figure out the y-intercept using the formula Y-y1=slope(x-x1) Y- -4= 4(x- -1) Y+4= 4x + 4 The 4 distributes to the x and -1 Y=4x +4 -4 Y= 4x This is your answer in slope intercept form. P.S if you have a number minus a negative number it makes it a positive number

A $20,000 business computer depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. Which of the following equations would model the value of the

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$f(t)=20000(0.85)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the initial value of the business computer is $20,000. It depreciates by 15% per year. This is exponential decay. The standard function for exponential decay is:

$f(t)=P(r)^t$
