I would not normally stop to answer this question, mainly because
there is no question asked. It's just three statements.
I do have to stop here and leave a remark, however.
Math and Physics are closely enough related that I would not
have expected to see what I see here. Although the math in
this question is reasonable, the Physics is inexcusable.
A rainbow is always a part of a circle.
Rainbows are never parabolas.
You could never cut a parabola out of paper, and then
hold it up in front of you after a rainstorm, and match it
to the rainbow.
a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
Answer:
for #2 I'm pretty sure he makes $10 per hour
analyze problem
no need for distance formula
same x, only need to subtract y
3a-0=3a
