Step 1 :First, we need to find the x-intercept by setting y to 0 in the equation: \(y = -400x + 3200\)
Step 2 :\(0 = -400x + 3200\)
Step 3 :\(400x = 3200\)
Step 4 :\(x = \frac{3200}{400}\)
Step 5 :\(x = 8\)
Step 6 :\(\boxed{(8, 0)}\) is the x-intercept.
Step 7 :Next, we need to find the value of x when y is 1600: \(1600 = -400x + 3200\)
Step 8 :\(400x = 1600\)
Step 9 :\(x = \frac{1600}{400}\)
Step 10 :\(x = 4\)
Step 11 :After \(\boxed{4}\) years, the value of the computer will be $1600.
Step 12 :The x-intercept represents option B: The number of years x when the value y of the computer is zero.
