Answer:

  -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4.5 -3)/(-3 -(-8)) = -7.5/5 = -1.5

Then the point-slope equation can be written as ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -3 = -1.5(x +8) . . . equation of the line through the given points.

We want the value of x for y = 0, so ...

  -3 = -1.5(x +8)

  2 = x +8 . . . . . . . divide by -1.5

  -6 = x . . . . . . subtract 8

The x-intercept of this linear function is x = -6.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In slope-intercept form, the function can be written as ...

  g(x) = -1.5x -9

Answer:

Part A

Yes

Part B

He will land at a point 30 meters from Cannon

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given function that represent the path of the Cannon, which is the path of a parabolic arc, is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120)

We note that the height, 'h', of the path of a parabola at a horizontal distance, 'x' from the origin is equal to f(x)

Therefore, given that at the ground level, at the start and end of the flight, the f(x) = 0, we can write;

-0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120) = 0

∴ x² - 26·x - 120 = 0

x = (26 ± √((-26)² - 4 × 1 × (-120)))/(2 × 1)

Which gives;

x = 30 or x = -4

Therefore, he lands at a point 30 meters from the starting point

Therefore, the function gives enough information to tell where he will land

Part B

He lands at the point, x = 30 from the point the cannon was fired.
