A company buys a copy machine for $10,500 and is represented by the ordered pair (0,10,500)

To determine the worth of the copy machine in 10 years, we can first establish its rate of depreciation. The depreciation from year 0 to year 5 is as follows:

• Initially (year 0): Worth $10,500
• After 5 years: Worth $5,500

The decrease in value over 5 years is:

\[ 10,500 - 5,500 = 5,000 \]

This means the copy machine loses $5,000 in value over 5 years.

To find the annual depreciation, we can divide the total depreciation by the number of years:

\[ \text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{5,000}{5} = 1,000 \]

So, each year the copy machine loses $1,000 of its value.

Now, we can calculate its worth after 10 years:

After 5 years, the worth is $5,500. In the next 5 years, it will lose another $5,000 (5 years × $1,000/year):

\[ 5,500 - 5,000 = 500 \]

Thus, after 10 years, the copy machine will be worth $500.

So the correct response is:

After 10 years, the copy machine is worth $500.
