Solve the problem.The value y of a machine (in dollars) is known to depreciate linearly with time x (measured in years from the time it was bought new). Suppose that y is related to x by the equation (a) Sketch the graph of this linear equation for 0 ? x ? 10.(b) What is the value of the machine when it is 5 years old?(c) What is the economic interpretation of the y-intercept of the graph?(d) When will the value of the machine reach the scrap value of $400??

What will be an ideal response?
