Here is the original problem
(i) v=192-32t
normally we want alphabetical order coordinates: (x,y) -> (t,v).
step 1 - solve for v. This is done.
step 2 - find the slope. We have y = mx + b which is converted to
(ii) v+=+mt+%2B+b
Lining up (i) and (ii), we get
slope = m = -32
--
Let t = 0 and we get the v-intercept as
v+=+192-32%2A0
v+=+192
--
Let v = 0 and we get
0+=+192+-+32t
192+=+-32t
t+=+-6
