Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Line of best fit (trendline) : a line through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points.
All the given options for the line of best fit are linear equations.
Therefore, we can add the line of best fit to the graph (see attached), remembering to have roughly the same number of points above and below the line.
Linear equation:
(where is the slope and
is the y-intercept)
From inspection of the line of best fit, we can see that the y-intercept (where x = 0) is approximately 8. So this suggests that options C or D are the solution.
We can also see that the slope (gradient) of the line of best fit is approximately -0.5 (as the rate of change (y/x) is -1 unit of y for every +2 units of x).
Therefore, C is the solution, and the closet approximation to the line of best fit is
Part A
Purchase Value of Anna's Car in 2015 = $36,000
Depreciated Value of Anna's Car in 2017 = $25,000
We know that the value of the car is depreciating linearly.
From the above data, we can see that the value of the car has reduced by $36,000-$25,000 = $11,000 over 2 years.
⇒ Per year the value has been depreciated by
⇒ Per year the value has been depreciated by $5,500
So if the value of a car in 2015 is V₀ then value of the car after t years can be determined by the below function:
V (t) = V₀ - (t*5,500), where t indicates the years passed since 2015
OR V (t) = 36,000 - (t*5,500), where t indicates the years passed since 2015
Part B
Suggested value of Anna's car for trade in option in 2018 = $15,000
In 2018, 3 years would have been passed since 2015. Using the value of t = 3 in the function determined in Part A:
V(3) = V₀ - (3*5,500)
⇒ V(3) = 36,000 - (16,500)
⇒ V(3) = $19,000
From the above calculations, we can see that the value of the car in 2018 should be $19,000, however the suggested value for trade in is indicated as $15,000 which is lower than what the value of the car should be. Hence, basis linear depreciation, the $15,000 value is not fair for the car in 2018.
