So your linear equation would be Y = 15870 - 2265 X where Y is the current value of the car and x is the number of years that passed since 1992 (that is, X = Y - 1992 where Y is the current year)<a href="http://www.pdabuyingguide.com/pda-phone-9170"> jgoulden</a> The automobile value dropped by (15780 - 6720) = 9060 dollars over four years for an average of 2265 lost per year.
