The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and
found that it could be modeled using the equation f(x) = –0.3x2 + 2x, where f(x) is the height of the path of the water above the ground, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance of the path of the water from the end of the hose, in feet.
When the water was 4 feet from the end of the hose, what was its height above the ground?
A. 3.2 feet
B. 4.8 feet
C. 5.6 feet
D. 6.8 feet

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be
We substitute the given point to find b:
Finally the line is:
