\text{Hello there! :)}

x = 8\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

\text{Since Point M is the midpoint of AB, then:}\\\\AM = MB\\\\

\text{Set the two equations equal to each other:}\\\\3x + 40 = x^{2} \\\\

\text{Move all terms over to one side to simplify more easily:}\\\\0 = x^{2} - 3x - 40

\text{Factor by finding numbers that sum up to -3 and multiply into -40:}\\\\0 = (x - 8)(x + 5)\\\\x = -5, 8

\text{The length of a segment cannot be negative, so choose the positive solution:}\\\\x = 8

\text{Substitute in this value of x into either AM or MB to solve for AB:}

AB = 2(MB)\\\\AB = 2(x^{2} )\\\\AB = 2(8^{2})\\ \\AB = 2(64)\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

Can someone please explain?

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the first option:  

y=-4x+64

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the equation of the line in slope-interception  form we need to extract all the information that we need from the graphic.

We must remember that the slope-interception form of the lines is:

y=mx+b

Where,

y, is the function

m, is the slope of the line

x, is the variable

b, is the y-axis intercept

We can find the slope using the following formula:

m=\frac{ChangeInY}{ChangeInX}

Which is for this case:

m=\frac{64}{16}=4

As we can see from the graphic, the line is decresing, so the sign of the slope "m" will be negative, so:

m=-4

We can find the value of "b" seeing where the line intercepts the y-axis.

As we can see it intercept the y-axis at:  y=64

Then, now that we already know the value of "m" and "b", we can write the equation of the line:

y=mx+b=-4x+64\\y=-4x+64

So, the correct option is the first option:

y=-4x+64

Have a nice day!
