Answer: ok bet
Step-by-step explanation: theres a picture below and to graph it you simply start with the y coordinate, which is 7. you put 7 on the graph then go down 3 because 3 is negative, then go right one because 1 is postitive. (you get 1 from making the slope into a fraction, -3/1) also remember the formula for this is y=mx+b. its tricky but i hope this helped
h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water
Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water
When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero
So we plug h(t) =0
So
divide whole equation by -16
we can now factor the quadratic equation
So we get
(t+4)(t-3) =0
plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t
t+4 =0 and t-3 =0
So t=-4 and t=3
Now time cannot be negative , So t=3
So time = 3 seconds
It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water
