Answer:
The answer is True. Just trust me on this one.
We know that the slope formula is m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Your points are: (3, 7) and (4, -8)
In this case,
x1 = 3
x2 = 4
y1 = 7
y2 = -8
Now, just plug in the numbers:
m = (7 - -8)/(3-4)
m = 15/-1
m = -15
Your slope is -15.
y =2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the graph is -1/2 using the rise over run method it rises up one and too the left twice so it would he -1/2
Year 1: 1,300 * 55% = 715 depreciation
1,300 - 715 = 585 book value
Year 2: 585 * 55% = 321.75 depreciation
585 - 321.75 = 263.25 book value
Year 3: 263.25 * 55% = 144.79 depreciation
263.25 - 144.79 = 118.46 book value
If the bike was bought 2 years ago, then its current value is $263.25.
Currently, it is the beginning of Year 3 but depreciation is computed at the end of the year.
