16. Ruth bought a piece of farm machinery valued at $50,000. Over a period of 10 years, the
machinery lost value at a constant rate. The graph below models this loss of value.
Which statement most closely matches this relationship?
The machinery ages 3 years for every $10,000 loss in value.
The machinery ages 5 years for every $10,000 loss in value.
Each year, the machinery loses a value of $2,500.
Each year, the machinery loses a value of $4,500.
Okay so this is what I think it is. I think it is D, each year the machinery loses a value of $4,500
The graph shows the y coordinates as Value in dollars and the x coordinates are in number of years. You can see that every year it goes down from 50,000 to around 45,000. The closest answer would be D.
I really hoped this helped!! I just looked at the problem really closely to figure it out
