Answer:

  a) 125000

  b) the value now

  c) 140000

  d) 7500 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Comparing the equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) we see that the y-intercept (b) is 125000.

__

b) We presume that "starting now" means x=0 corresponds to "now." The y-intercept is the value when x=0, so the y-intercept represents the value now.

__

c) When x=2, the value is ...

  y = 7500(2) +125000 = 140000

The value of the house is projected to be 140000 two years from now.

__

d) The coefficient of x being 7500 means the value will increase 7500 each year.
