a fountain on a lake sprays water in a parabolic arch modeled by the equation y = -0.3x^2 + 3x. a beam of light modeled by the e
quation -2x + 5.5y = 19.5 passes through the fountain to create a rainbow effect. if the beam cuts the water spray at points a and b, such that point b is at a higher level than point a, what distance from the ground level is point a?

Answer:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the line is,
y = mx + b
Here m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Slope of a line passing through two points and
is,
m =
From the graph attached,
Since, the given line passes through (0, -1) and (3, 4),
Slope 'm' =
m =
y - intercept 'b' = -1
Therefore, equation of the line will be,
y =
