Devaluation of a product (E_M)
Due to wear, the value (V) of a product decrease with time (t). We can then consider the devaluation of a product as a linear function. Knowing that the value of a machine today is 1000 euros, and estimating that in 5 years it will be 250 euros, what will its total devaluation be after 6 years?

Intersection of linear functions
a) Calculate the point of intersection of the following two lines. Round to two decimal places for the input.
function 1: $y_1 = -1,5x + 3$
function 2: $y_2 = 3x + 6$
b) Calculate how the parameter $m$ of the line $y_3$ must be chosen so that the two lines $y_3$ and $y_4$ intersect at the position $x_0=3$. Round to two decimal places for the input.
function 1: $y_3 = m⋅x+3$
function 2: $y_4 = -2,5x + 10$

Gradient triangle
Consider the given linear function. The slope m indicates how much the function value changes when moving one unit in x-direction.
To determine this change, we need to identify any two points on the graph. Therefore, we use the gradient triangle. This is explained in the hints.
After you have read all hints carefully, you will be asked to apply what you have learned: to calculate the slope of the graph given in the task picture. Calculate its slope and enter your solution in the checkboxes.
