The point (0, 16,000) 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 models the value of the equipment, y, x years after purchase. Use the model to predict the value of the equipment after 4 years?

Question

A. y = 16,000x + 5;
value after 4 years is $3200.00
B. y = - 16,000x + 16,000;
value after 4 years is $-48,000.00
C. y = - 3200x + 16,000;
value after 4 years is $3200.00;
D. y = 3200x - 16,000;
value after 4 years is $3200.00
