Answer:

m=-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y2-y1

x2-x1

x1=−5 ,

y1=0,

x2=−2,

y2=−4.

m=(−4)−(0)(−2)−(−5) =−4/3=−4/3.

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached image. My calculation seems a bit off from what I expected, but the reasoning might help.

The paper is trailing the dropped object and a mark is made every 0.020 seconds. By measuring the difference between the dots and dividing by the time, we can calculate the average speed at the the final 2 locations. The difference in these speeds is due to acceleration, as shown in the calculation.

My result wasn't what is considered correct for Earth's acceleration of gravity, but I offer possible explanations. Please check my calculations.
