Question

Ruth bought a piece of farm machinery valued at $50,000. Over a period of 10 years, the machinery lost value at a constant rate. The graph below models this loss of value.

Which statement most closely matches this relationship?
(1 point)
• The machinery ages 3 years for every $10,000 loss in value.
• The machinery ages 5 years for every $10,000 loss in value.
• Each year, the machinery loses a value of $2,500.
• Each year, the machinery loses a value of $4,500.

Answer 1

find the slope of the line

Answer 2

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

so is it A?

Answer 4

@ckellar2 @cherry18

Answer 5

the slope is -4,500 right?

Answer 6

slope is 1/1

Answer 7

-1/1 y?

Answer 8

no the slope is -4,500 i just checked so it is D?

Answer 9

it loses 5000 a year so d is most closely matched

Answer 10

yeah but the slope is negative... idek

Answer 11

is it still the same thing?

Answer 12

yes looosing 5000 is the same as -5000 and adding 5000 is the same aspositive 5000

Answer 13

thanks :)
