The straight line depreciation for a car is y = -2400x + 36,000 , where y is equal to the current value of the car at x number of years . What is the original purchase price of the car ? How much does the car depreciate each year ? How many years will it take for the car to totally depreciate to zero ?

THANK YOU!

The original price was $36,000.  

It depreciates by $2,400 each year.

It’ll take 15 years for it to fully depreciate to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

To get how much the original price was, you replace x with 0 in the equation y=-2,400x+36,000 since it is 0 years at that time. When you do that, you get 36,000.  It declines by $2,400 each year because the coefficient is 2,400x. To get the last part, you have to divide 36,000 by 2,400 and then you get 15.
