The initial cost of an office fax machine is $100. After 1 year, its value becomes $80. Which is the correct linear depreciation

model?

Answer:

y=100-20x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the time (in years) and the y-axis the value of the fax machine (in dollars).

We know that the initial value of the fax machine is $100; in other words, when the time is zero years, the value is $100, or as an ordered pair (0, 100). We also know that after 1 year the value decreases to $80, so (1, 80).

Now we can find the slope of the line passing through those two points using the slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

(x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values:

m=\frac{80-100}{1-0}

m=-20

Now, to complete our model we are using the point slope formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

y-100=-20(x-0)

y-100=-20x

y=-20x+100

y=100-20x

We can conclude that the correct linear depreciation model is y=100-20x

Use the graph to estimate the solution to the system of equations shown.
Finger [1]
<h3>Answer:  D. x= -5 1/2, y= -3 1/4</h3>

==============================================================

Explanation:

The solution occurs where the two lines intersect. From this intersection point, draw a vertical line upward until you reach the x axis. We arrive somewhere between -5 and -6. A good estimate is to say that we're at the midpoint, so x = -5 & 1/2 is one possible estimate

Since only choice D has this x value, this must mean choice D is the answer. The y coordinate of y = -3 & 1/4 seems to fit as well since we can draw a horizontal line from the point of intersection to the y axis, and arrive somewhere just a little below -3.

Please answer this correctly
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Mode

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

Before replacing = 464/8 = 58

After replacing 42 with 98 = 520/8 = 65

Mode:

Before replacing = 42

After replacing 42 with 98 = 98

Median:

25, 42 , 42 , 47, 55 , 59, 96,98

Before replacing =  47+55/2 = 51

25, 42 ,  47, 55 , 59, 96,98 , 98

After replacing 42 with 98 =  55+59/2 = 114/2 = 57
