Solve.A school has just purchased new computer equipment for  The graph shows the depreciation of the equipment over 5 years. The point (0, 17,000) represents the purchase price and the point (5, 0) represents when the equipment will be replaced. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that relates the value of the equipment, y, to years after purchase x . Use the equation to predict the value of the equipment after 1 years.

A. y = 3400x - 17,000;
value after 1 years is $13,600.00
B. y = - 3400x + 17,000;
value after 1 years is $13,600.00;
C. y = 17,000x + 5;
value after 1 years is $13,600.00
D. y = - 17,000x + 17,000;
value after 1 years is $0.00
