Answer:
y = -3/2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can get 2 points from the graph
(0,3)
(2,0)
from (0,3) we know that the b in the equation is 3
now to calculate m or slope we use 
= -3/2
so we plug our m and b into y = mx + b and get
y = -3/2x + 3
Area of a square = length²
A = x²
16 = x²; x = 4
dA/dx = 2x cm²/s
dx/dt = 6 cm/s
Using chain rule:
dA/dt = dA/dx * dx/dt
dA/dt = 2x * 6
dA/dt = 12x
At x = 4,
dA/dt = 12(4) = 48 cm²/s
