In the equation, the number 6,000 represents the initial value of the motorcycle. The value of the motorcycle is decreasing at a rate of 400 per year.
When V=10,000, it means that the value of the motorcycle is $10,000.
When t = -5, it means that the time in years is -5, which does not make sense in the context of this problem as time cannot be negative.
