Answer:
y = 8x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b is slope-intercept form
m - slope
b - y-intercept
so if you plug in 8 for m and -8 for b you'll get
y = 8(m)x - 8(b)
Hope this helps!!
After solving I have come up with 6 2/9 or 6.22222.
You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum. You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10. We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.
lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph. This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.
-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.
-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.
-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.
Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer: Reflection about x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Initially, vertices are 
After reflection they become 
It is clear that the x coordinate remains unchanged and the y coordinate changes its sign. It occurs when reflection is done about the x-axis.
For example, when (a,b) is reflected about the x-axis, it becomes (a,-b).
So, here reflection is being done about the x-axis.
