Suppose the value of the computer depreciates over several years using a linear model as shown below: Computer's value is 20,000 and 10,000 with the years of purchase of 2 and 4. Graph the linear equation and find its purchase price. What would be its value after 5 years?

Suppose the value of the computer depreciates over several years using a linear model as shown below: Computer's value is 20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1. m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=10000-20000/4-2
m= -10000/2= - 5000
y=mx +b
20000=-5000(2)+b
20000=-10000+b
30000=b
y= -5000x+30000
3. y=-5000(5)+30000
y=5000
4. y=-5000(0)+30000
y=30000
