In order to find the equation of a line, you would have to use the equation y=mx+b.
First, find the slope:

There is (1,8) and (2, 16) so plug that in 16-8/2-1 = 8. That's your slope! (Or the m)
Next in order to find b, you have to plug in a point:
y=8x+b
Take (1,8) and plug it in for x and y:
8=8(1)+b
b=0
Your y intercept is 0 (which you can also see on the graph)
So your answer is: y=8x
Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:
A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate
Substituting the values,
A = (780 g)(e^-0.163*16)
A = 57.5 g

Answer:
The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
big dog = b
medium dog = m
small dog = s
Equations
b = 5s
m = 12 + s
s = 2/3 m
Process
1.- Substitute m in the last equation
s = 2/3(12 + s)
s = 24/3 + 2/3s
s - 2/3s = 8
1/3 s = 8
s = 8(3)
s = 24 pounds
2.- Substitute s in the first equation
b = 5(24)
b = 120 pounds
