Paul purchased a used vehicle that depreciates under a straight-line method.
1 answer:
Answer:
Option B. $900
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y ----> the value of the car
x ----> the time in years
we know that
The linear function in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or the depreciation rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value of the car
we have
The y-intercept or initial value is equal to
we have the ordered pair (5,500)
substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the linear equation and solve for m
Is negative because is a decreasing function
The linear equation is equal to
therefore
It would depreciate $900 each year.

3 to the negative second power is written like this: 
.
When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is
.
Hope this helps!
