A business uses straight line depreciation to determine the value y of a piece of machinery over a 10-year period. Suppose the original value (when) is equal to 541,000 and its value is reduced by S4100 each year. Write the linear equation that models the value y of this machinery at the end of yeart
The linear equation 17400 - 24001 models the value y of the machinery at the end of yeart.
