This is a very simple and easy problem. I'm not sure why you need someone else to solve it, but I hope this helps
a. Linear equation:
Let x be amount of movies rented
$8 + ($2.50 * x)
b.
$8 + ($2.50 * 10)
= $8 + $25.0
= $33
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.
1000 is the answer! hoped I helped
