The depreciating value of a car can be modeled by the following graph (see image), where y is the
emaining cost of the car and x is the time in years. What is the value of the car initially? And what would happen to the graph if
the initial value was only $50,000?
A. $70,000, the graph would change its y-intercept to $50,000.
B. $60,000, the graph would change its y-intercept to $50,000.
C. $40,000, the graph would have a y-intercept at $70,000.
D. $70,000, the graph would decrease at a slower rate.

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
