Let the value of the vehicle be described by the equation
V = a + bx
where x =  number of years since purchase
a,b are constants.

When x = 0, V = $7500. Therefore
a + b*0 = 7500
a = 7500

When x = 7, V = $500. Therefore
7500 + 7b = 500
7b = 500 -7500 = -7000
b = -7000/7 = -1000

The equation is
V = 7500 - 1000x

The slope of this equation is the depreciation rate, and it is -$1000 per year.

Answer: $1000 depreciation per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the width of the rectangular piece of wood is 4 inches and the width of the strip ribbon is 1/4 inches.

Then, let be "n" the number of strips ribbon that Laura needs to cover the width of the rectangular piece of wood (Assuming that she will cover the wood in the form shown in the figure attached). This is:

n=\frac{4in}{\frac{1}{4}in}\\\\n=16

To find the lenght of ribbon that Laura needs to conver the wood, you must multiply the number of strips ribbon "n" by the lenght of the rectangular piece of wood, then you get:

lenght=(16)(7in)\\lenght=112in
