This could be calculated using the proportion. If the value of the car decreases by 15% each year, that means that after each year the value of the car is 85% of the value from the first year.
<em>The word 'linear' means something having to do with a line.On a Cartesian Plane, a linear function is a function where the graph is a straight line. The line can go in any direction, but it's always a straight line. A non-linear function has a shape that is not a straight line.</em>
Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles below are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
