If a quadratic function has zero at x=-9, then point (-9,0) lies on the graph of quadratic function.
A line of symmetry has equation x=-3.5 that is x+3.5=0.
Use formula for the distance from point
to the line AX+By+C=0:

Thus,

Answer: the distance is 5.5 units.

Answer:
3.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Each year, Louis earned
$1500×0.035 = $52.50
in interest.
The amount of interest that had been credited to his account at the time of withdrawal was ...
$1683.75 -1500.00 = $183.75
Then the length of time the money had been in the account was ...
$183.75/($52.50/yr) = 3.5 yr
