An exponent is the number or value being raised to a power.
All integers are whole numbers is false Whole numbers are non-negative while integers are negative, positive or zeros. D
I will give in y=mx+b and ax+by=c form
using point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where the slope is m and a point on that line is (x1,y1)
slope between 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x1-x1)
given
(6,-3) and (-4,-9)
slope=(-9-(-3))/(-4-6)=(-9+3)/(-10)=-6/-10=3/5
a point is (6,-3)
y-(-3)=3/5(x-6)
y+3=3/5(x-6)
y+3=3/5x-18/5
y=3/5x-33/5
-3/5x+y=-33/5
3x-5y=33
equation is
y=3/5x-33 or
3x-5y=33 or
y+3=3/5(x-6) or
y+9=3/5(x+4)
(17,000-2,500)/5=14,500/5=$2,900 is the annual depreation.
17,000-2,900*3
17,000-8,700=$8,300 value after 3 years.
