A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

nd (7, –13), and the center of the arch on the bridge is located at (0, 0). Find the equation of the arch of the bridge.

We can use the formula for a parabola: y = c(x - a) + b where
(a,b) is the origin of the parabola and c is some constant scaling factor.

We are given that the center of the arch on the bridge is (0, 0). This is our origin. So our equation is:

y = c(x - 0)^2 + 0 = cx^2

Now we just need to find c. We can do this by plugging in one of the other points given:

-13 = c*7^2
\frac{-13}{49} = c

So our final equation for the arch of the bridge is:

y = \frac{-13}{49}x^2

1/2 (y-3)= 1/2 + (x-3)<br><br> Rapidoo
netineya [11]
Because there are two variables in this equation, you cannot solve for answers. However, I'll assume that you want to get this into slope intercept form as that is the most common way to graph these. The answer in that case is y = 2x - 2

<span>1/2 (y-3)= 1/2 + (x-3) ---> Start by multiplying both sides by 2
(y - 3) = 1 + 2x - 6 ---> now add 3 to each side
y = 3 + 1 + 2x - 6 ----> now simplify like terms. 
y = 2x - 2 </span>
