To solve this problem, we should create an equation using the given information. To do this, we should calculate the slope between the two points as if they were regular points, giving us:
change in y/change in x = (v-4)/(-6-0) = (v-4)/(-6)
Since we know that the slope is 2, we can set our calculated value for the slope of the line for the equation (v-4)/(-6) equal to 2, as shown below:
(v-4)/(-6) = 2
To solve this equation, we should multiply both sides of the equation by -6 to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.
v-4 = -12
Next, we should add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the variable v alone on the left side of the equation, as shown below:
v = -8
Therefore, v =-8 is your answer.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
how long is the ball in the air ?
that is the same as asking : after how many seconds will the ball hit the ground (= reach the height of 0) ?
so, that means we need to find the zero solution of h(t).
at what t is h(t) = 0 ?
when at least one of the factors is 0 :
2(-2 - 4t)(2t - 5)
we have 3 factors
2 : can never be 0.
(-2 -4t) : can only be 0 for negative t, which does not make sense in our scenario (we cannot go back in time, only forward).
(2t - 5) : is 0 when 2t = 5 or t = 2.5
so, A is the right answer.
FYI : the starting height (on the hill) is given by t = 0 :
2(-2 - 0)(0 - 5) = 2×-2×-5 = 20 ft
