Answer: 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear equation for depreciation is given by :-
[tex]y=-mx+c[/tex], where m is rate of depreciation and c is the initial amount.
Given : Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750.
i.e. c= $1750
The rate of depreciation = $250 per year
i.e. m= $250 per year
Function of given situation: [tex]y=-250x+1750[/tex]
For y= 0, we have
[tex]0=-(250)x+1750\\\\\Rightarrpw 250x=1750\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1750}{250}=7[/tex]
Hence, it will take 7 years for the value of the computer to be $0 .
