Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the rate of change of a line

The steepness of a slope means how close it is to being vertical

The greater value of slope means, more steepness. The value of slope can wither b positive or negative

We have to compare the slopes of all given options to find the steepest slope

As the options are in slope-intercept form, the coefficients of x will be the slope

So,

a. Slope = -4

b. Slope = 8

c. Slope = 2/3 = 0.66

d . Slope = 1/7 = 0.14

We can see that the largest value of slope in negative and positive is 8

So,

Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

An airplane pilot is fertilizing a field. The height y in feet of the fertilizer t seconds after it is dropped is modeled by y(t

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

About 360.178 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want the vertical distance between the fertilizer and the ground to be 0.

This going to be about the time the pilot has dropped it

So we first need to find when y is 0.

$0=-16t^2-3t+300$

We are going to use the quadratic formula to solve for t:

$a=-16$

$b=-3$

$c=300$

The quadratic formula is:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(-16)(300)}}{2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+19200}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{19209}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{3+\sqrt{19209}}{-32} \text{ or } \frac{3-\sqrt{19209}}{-32}$

$t \approx -4.424891774 \text{ or } 4.237391774$

So the pilot has released it at about 4.237391774 seconds since the fertilizer has actually hit the ground at roughly this time.

So we want to know the horizontal distance at t=4.237391774:

$85t$

$85(4.237391774)$

$360.1783008$

360.178 feet
