Answer:

y = 5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 9)

m = $\frac{9-4}{2-1}$ = $\frac{5}{1}$ = 5 , then

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c use any ordered pair from the table and substitute into the partial equation.

Using (3, 14 ) , then

14 = 15 + c ⇒ c = 14 - 15 = - 1

y = 5x - 1 ← equation of line

So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}$

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}$

the truck, ends up with a clearance of $\bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5$ on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, $\bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)$
