You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.

(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction

(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds

The answer is y=(1/2)x -5

You are given the slope and a core donate pair so you plug them in to the equation. 2=x. -4=y. And (1/2)= m

Then work out like a one step equation
