Since the slope is -2 we know that m=-2. Now use the standard form of y=mx+b and plug in the coordinates (-8,2). We know y=2, x=-8, and m=-2. Therefore we get 2=-2(-8)+b. Now solve for b and you get -14. Therefore, the equation is y=-2x-14.
Hope this helped!
Since x=months,
50x=y
Where x is the number of months times the monthly charge. Y is just the output, or end value.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Exponential --> y=ab^x
Trigonometric --> y= sin x
Quadratic --> y= x^2
Rational -->y=1/x
Let x the age of John
Amy's age = x + 9
from question, we get,
John's age + Amy's age = 23
x+(x+9)= 23
=> x + x + 9 = 23
=> 2x = 23 - 9
=> x = 14/2
=> x = 7
