Investing in coins: The purchase of a "collector's item" is often made in hopes the item will increase in value. In $1998,$ Mark purchased a $1909-\mathrm{S}$ VDB Lincoln Cent (in fair condition) for $\$ 150 .$ By the year $2004,$ its value had grown to $\$ 190 .$ (a) Use the relation (time since purchase, value) with $t=0$ corresponding to 1998 to find a linear equation modeling the value of the coin. (b) Discuss what the slope and $y$ -intercept indicate in this context. (c) How much will the penny be worth in $2009 ?$ (d) How many years after purchase will the penny's value exceed $\$ 250 ?$ (e) If the penny is now worth $\$ 170,$ how many years has Mark owned the penny?
