Lesson 12 Section 2.3Compare the graphs of the lines below.

This is called the rate of change and is equal to the slope, if a graph was made with the x-axis representing years and y-axis representing percent.2) The graph below represent the value of a computer model (in hundreds of dollars) for a number of years after it is used.a) Find the rate of change.b) Find an function in slope-intercept form where V(t) is value and t is number of years in use.c) Use this function to find the value at 2 years.d) What is the domain of this function?3) What do m and b represent in this function?
