The given equation is:
\[ y = 1000z + 6000 \]
In this equation:
- \( y \) represents the number of parking spots in the local town.
- \( z \) represents the number of years from now.
To find the number of parking spots right now, we need to determine the value of \( y \) when \( z = 0 \) (which means "right now").
Substituting \( z = 0 \) into the equation:
\[ y = 1000(0) + 6000 \] \[ y = 0 + 6000 \] \[ y = 6000 \]
Therefore, there are currently 6000 parking spots in the local town.
