In the equation, the number 6,000 represents the starting value of the motorcycle.

The value of the motorcycle is decreasing at a rate of 2,000 per year.

V = 10,000 means that the value of the motorcycle is $10,000 at a certain point in time.

t = -5 means that the time is 5 years in the past. So, in the context of this problem, it means that the value of the motorcycle 5 years ago was calculated.
