Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This quadratic models the parabolic motion equation
where h is the height of the object after the motion occurs, a is the pull of gravity, v(i) is the initial vertical velocity of the object, and h(i) is the height from which the object was initially launched. If we are looking for when the ball hits the ground, h = 0, because the height of an object on the ground has no height at all (or 0 height). To find the time the object was in the air, factor the quadratic and solve for the values of t.
Two factors of 4 that add up to be 3 and multiply to be 4 are -1 and 4. So t=-1 and t = 4. Since we know that time can never be negative, then t = 4 seconds.

y = x + 3
As shown in the graph, the line is a straight line. Therefore, the general equation of a straight line can be employed to derive the equation of the line.
The general equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + c <em>or </em>-------------(i)
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) -----------------(ii)
Where;
y₁ is the value of a point on the y-axis
x₁ is the value of the same point on the x-axis
m is the slope of the line
c is the y-intercept of the line.
Equation (i) is the slope-intercept form of a line
Steps:
(i) Pick any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on the line.
In this case, let;
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 3)
(x₂, y₂) = (4, -2)
(ii) With the chosen points, calculate the slope <em>m</em> given by;
m =
m =
m =
(iii) Substitute the first point (x₁, y₁) = (0, 3) and m = into equation (ii) as follows;
y - 3 = (x - 0)
(iv) Solve for y from (iii)
y - 3 = x
y = x + 3 [This is the slope intercept form of the line]
Where the slope is and the intercept is 3
