A manufacturer of graphing calculators has determined that 10,000 calculators per week will be sold at a price of $85 per calculator. At a price of $80, it is estimated that 12,000 calculators will be sold. Determine a linear function that predicts the number of calculators y that will be sold per week at a price of x dollars. =-400x+44,000 Use this model to predict the number of calculators that will be sold at a price of $75.

A car initially sold for $23,999. Its class life is 12 years, and the car depreciates by $750 each year. Express this as a linear function. Find the salvage value. Then, find the value after six years.
The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.6. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 14 hours is 15.6 centimeters. What will be the height of the candle after 20 hours? Candle height (in cm) 15.6 14 Burning time (in hours) centimeters X S

Assume a cars depreciation value can be modeled by a linear function where y represents the cars value after t years. If the car was worth $1200 after 2 years and worth $300 after 5 years: a. How much did the car depreciate each year? b. How much was the car worth when it first debuted? c. Write an equation that models the cars value as a function of time d. When will the car have no value?
