b) 5 years
c) -200; a decrease of $200 in value each year
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
When the age of the computer is 0 years, the graph shows its value to be $1000.
The original cost of the computer is $1000.
__
b)
The graph shows the value is 0 when time is 5 years.
After 5 years, the computer no longer has value.
__
c)
The value decreases 1000 in 5 years, so does so at the rate of $1000/5 = $200 per year.
The slope is -200. It means the value decreases by $200 each year.
