A (0,0) is at the origin.
P is at (10, -5).

Let the coordinates of B be (x,y).
Because A,  B, and P are collinear and PB : AB = 2/7, therefore
x = (7/9)*10 = 7.78
y = (7/9)*(-5) = -3.89

The distance between B and the x-axis is 3.89
The distance between B and the y-axis s 7.78

Answer: The x-axis is closer to B

Well, we don't really need to find what point B is

find the equation of the line containing (0,0) and (10,-5)
if the slope is 1, then point B is equidistant from the x and y axis
if the slope is greater than 1, then point B is closer to the y axis
if the slope is less than 1, then point B is closer to the x axis


slope between (0,0) and (10,-5) is (-5-0)/(10-0)=-5/10=-1/2
the slope is less than 1
it is closer to the x axis

? Question
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

4 ft

7.2 ft

20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When the balloon is shot, x = 0.

y = -0.05(0)² + 0.8(0) + 4

y = 4

The balloon reaches the highest point at the vertex of the parabola.

x = -b / 2a

x = -0.8 / (2 × -0.05)

x = 8

y = -0.05(8)² + 0.8(8) + 4

y = 7.2

When the balloon lands, y = 0.

0 = -0.05x² + 0.8x + 4

0 = x² − 16x − 80

0 = (x + 4) (x − 20)

x = -4 or 20

Since x > 0, x = 20.
