The equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is

Data;
- cost of machine = 1500
- annual depreciation value = x
<h3>Linear Equation</h3>
This is an equation written to represent a word problem into mathematical statement and this is easier to solve.
To write a linear depreciation model for this machine would be
For number of years, the cost of the machine would become

This is properly written as

where x represents the number of years.
For example, after 5 years, the value of the machine would become

The value of the machine would be $500 at the end of the fifth year.
From the above, the equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is f(x) = 1500 - 200x

Answer:
See solution below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinate's of A and B be (1, 0) and (2,4) respectively
midpoint M (X, Y) = [(x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)]
X = x1+x2/2
X = 1+2/2
X = 3/2
X = 1.5
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 0+4/2
Y = 4/2
Y = 2
Hence the required midpoint (X, Y) is (1.5, 2)
Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 4-0/2-1
m = 4/1
m = 4
Hence the slope is 4
<em>Note that the coordinates are assumed but the same calculation can be employed for any other coordinates</em>

18/9 = 12/x
18x = 12(9)...cross multiply
18x = 108
x=108/18
x=6
