Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point
2 answers:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following equation:
And we want a line parallel to this one that passes thourgh the point (2,14). In order to satisfy this we need that condition:
Where on this case for the original slope, and if we solve for
we got:
And now since we have the new slope we can solve for the value of b like this:
And if we solve for b we got:
And then our equation parallel is given by:

This is the equation of an upside down parabola, so the maximum height will be at the vertex. To find the vertex, we'll use the formula for the x-coordinate and then solve for the y-coordinate.
Plugging this into the given formula:
Since it asks us to round, the maximum height would be 20 yards. To find how far the football travels in total, we need to set the equation equal to 0 and find the roots:
Then by the zero product property (or the no zero divisors rule), we have:
(this is the x value where the ball is kicked from)
So the ball travels 51 yards in total.
