The value of a computer bought in 1998 decreases as time passes. Two years after the computer was bought, it was worth $2,600. Five years after it was bought, it was worth $2,000.
If the relationship between number of years past 1998 and value of the computer is linear, write an equation describing this relationship to help predict the value of the computer in future years.
HINT: Use ordered pairs of the form: (years past 1998, vlaue of the computer)
A) y=-200x+3000
B) y=200x+3000
C) y=-200x-1000
D) y=-200x+1000
