Example 1: Find the Intercepts Suppose that you purchase a car for $27,000. According to
your online research, this make, and model of car loses all its
marketable value after 12 years. That is, it depreciates to a
value of zero dollars 12 years after the purchase date. If this
car depreciates in a straight-line form, what are the intercepts
of the depreciation equation? Determine the slope of the
straight-line depreciation equation
