Answer:
y = 14x -30
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form is:
y = mx + b,
Slope intercept form is useful for finding the slope and y intercept of a line, hence why it is called "slope intercept" because it is easy to see the slope and the y intercept of a line in this form. Since the slope denoted by m, and y intercept denoted by b are clearly given.
y + 2 = 7(2x - 4)
Distribute 7 across the parentheses by multiplying x and 2x and 4 by 7.
y+2 = 14x - 28
subtract 2 from both sides. This cancels the 2 on the left and moves it to the right, while keeping the equation balanced.
y+2 -2 = 14x - 28 -2
y = 14x - 30
y = 14x -30
As you can see our y = 14x -30 now looks like the point slope equation we had above. m = 14, and b = -30. This means the line goes up 14 for every single unit you move to the right, and intersects the y axis at (0, -30).
Please mark me brainliest.
Remark.
The problem is a bit indistinct. Where exactly are the two edges of the road? I'm going to say that they are the x intercepts, but that may not be true. Certainly it does not have to be true at all.
Graph.
A graph has been made for you. The maximum is marked for you. It is an approximation The actual height can be more accurately found.
Height
y = (-1/200)(x - 16)(x + 16)
y = (-1/200)*(x^2 - 256)
The maximum height for this graph only is when x = 0.Other graphs require completing the square.
y = (-1/200) * (-256)
y = 1.28 exactly. I thought the graph might be rounding the answer. It is not.
