Answer:
- 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
0 - 3 / 4 - (-2)
-3 / 6
= -1/2
Answer:
? is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 4x - 7 is a line with a slope of 4 and y-intercept of -7.
plug in any X value, for example 1 and you get the following
y = 4(1) - 7
y = -3
(1,-3) is a point that satisfies the equation y = 4x - 7
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-
10.2 ft Ans.
We solve this using geometric series.
A1 = 12 ft
A2 = ?
A3 = 8.67ft
Now, for geomteric progression,


A2 = 10.2 ft
