AaronÍs mother purchases a new computer for $1750. If she claims a linear depreciation (loss of value) on the computer at a rate of $250 per year, how long will it take for the value of the computer to be $0?

a.


7 years

b.


6 years

c.


5 years

d.


8 years

Verified Answer :

B seven years because you have to subtract to find the answer

Linear depreciation is represented by the equation \(y-mx=0\).

\(y=\$1,750 \\m=250 \\x=? \\ \\1,750=250x \\x= \frac{1,750}{250} \\x=7\) 

Therefore, 7 years.
