Straight-line depreciation is a method of calculating an asset’s value by subtracting its salvage value from its acquisition or purchase price divided by the estimated useful life of the asset. suppose a manufacturing robot cost $1.5 million in 2005 and is sold in 2010 for $50,000. what is the linear equation representing the value of the robot?

Linear equation is V(t) = 1500 - 290t

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear equation representing the value of the robot we will calculate per year depreciation in the cost of the robot.

Rate of depreciation =

                                 =

                                 =

                                 =

If depreciation is represented by V(t) (in $000) then equation will be

V(t) = 1500 - 290t

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
