The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.
The equation of the path is: 
The given parameters are:
--- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)


An absolute function is represented as:

I didn’t learn this yet but maybe
Answer:
The proportion is 2/7 = 12/42
x = 12
The answer is 12
There are 2 order pairs there (6,-4),(-2,4)
find the midpoint using the formula
(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2
x=6 and -2
y=-4 and 4
(6+2)/2 , (-4+4)/2
8/2 ,0/2
the midpoint is (4,0) A
