Answer:

y = - 4x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 4, thus

y = - 4x ++ c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 12 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 12 = - 13

y = - 4x - 13 ← equation of line

nika2105 [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Two possible smallest and largest angles are 11.78° and 78.22°.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Minigolf ball will follow a trajectory to get into the hole.

Since range of a trajectory is calculated by the formula,

$R=\frac{u^{2}sin2\theta}{g}$

Where u = initial speed of the ball

θ = angle between the hole and direction in which the ball has been projected

g = gravitational pull

Now we plug in the values in the formula,

$2=\frac{7^{2}sin(2\theta)}{9.8}$

sin2θ = $\frac{2\times 9.8}{49}$

2θ = $sin^{-1}(0.4)$

2θ = 23.57° or 156.43°

θ = 11.78° or 78.22°

Hence two possible smallest and largest angles are 11.78° and 78.22°.
