Answer:
[tex]\$77,000[/tex] and the graph would fall at a slower rate to the right
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]y=Ao(0.79)^{x}[/tex]
Observing the graph
The initial value Ao of the truck is equal to the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the graph
so
[tex]Ao=\$77,000[/tex]
If the depreciation rate was 15% per year, the new formula would be
[tex]y=Ao(1-0.15)^{x}[/tex]
[tex]y=Ao(0.85)^{x}[/tex]
[tex]y=77,000(0.85)^{x}[/tex] ----> the graph would fall at a slower rate to the right
using a graphing tool
compare the graphs
