Areporter collected data on y, the current market value, in dollars, of a certain car for various years, ×, after it had has been purchased new. the equation below was to fit to the data.

equation: y= 16,500-1,500×

what does the slope of the graph of this equation represent?

what does y-intercept of the graph of this equation represent?

1.The slope of the graph represents the rate of change of the market value in dollars for change in corresponding years.

2. y intercept represents the initial value of the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A reporter collected data on y, the current market value, in dollars, of a certain car for various years, x, after it had has been purchased new.

The given equation is a linear equation( y=mx+c), where slope =-1500, which represents the rate of change of the market value in dollars for change in corresponding years.

For y intercept put x=0 in above equation, we get

hence, y intercept represents the initial value of the market.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
