Answer:   y = -1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two points on the graph, we are going to use these points to find the slope using the formula m = y2-y1 / x2-y1, where m is equal to the slope.

Since it doesn't matter which points are 1 and which are two, we are just going to make (-4,5) x2 and y2, and (4,1) x1 and y1. Plugging everything in we get 5-1/-4-4 = 4/-8 = -1/2. So, -1/2 is our slope.

Now we can plug in the slope and one of our previous points, again it doesn't matter which one, into y = mx + b to find b, the y-intercept. We are going to use the point (4,1) and when we plug it in we get 1 = -1/2(4) + b and b ends up being equal to 3.

So when we plug in 3 for the y - intercept and  -1/2 for the slope, we get y = -1/2x+3

skad [1K]
The equation for this would be 4x+3=y where x is months and y is your amount of toys after x months.
plug in 4 for x -> 4(4)+3=y
solve -> 16+3=y
y=19

A stone dropped from a bridge strikes the water 2.2 s later. How high is the bridge above thewater
mina [271]
Since you are giving no information whatsoever, the formula could be:

S = (1/2)g.t², where s is the distance, 9 =9.8 m/s² and t = time
S = (1/2).(9.8)(2.2)² ans S= 23.7 meters
