Final answer:

The equation of the line for the lease interest rate can be represented as y = 0.27%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be represented in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, the line represents the lease interest rate, with the money factor given as 0.0027.

  1. First, we need to convert the money factor to a percentage by multiplying it by 100. So, 0.0027 * 100 = 0.27%.
  2. The slope of the line is zero, indicating no change in the interest rate based on the lease amount.
  3. The y-intercept is the initial interest rate without any lease amount, which is 0.27%. So, the equation of the line is y = 0.27%.
