Is there a specific way to determine the function of a given graph, let`s say for eg a v-t graph with straight line such that at t=0, v=-2, t=2, v=-2 Please expln how do we determine the function of such graphs

What do you mean by function of a given graph?
We can only graph a given function.

Then how will we solve the following question?
the accelaration – time graph of a particle is such that at t=0, a= -2, and at t=1, a=0. (I cant draw the graph so i am giving data deducable form graph)
(i) Find an expression of velocity in terms of t and draw v-t
(ii) Derive x9t) and hence calculate the displacement of the particle in the time interval from t=2 sec to t=4 sec
Assume that x=0,v=0 at t=0
