The linear equation that has a slope of -7 and crosses the x-axis at (3, 0) is:
y = -7x + 21
<h3>
How to find the linear equation?</h3>
A general linear equation is:
y = a*x +b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope must be equal to the limit found in part a, and you say that it is equal to -7, so the slope is -7. And for how is written the problem, I understand that it crosses the x-axis at x = 3.
Then we will have:
y = -7*x + b
Such that, when x = 3, y = 0, then:
0 = -7*3 + b
21 = b
Then the linear equation is y = -7x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:
On this question we see that we are given two points on a certain graph that has a maximum point at 57 feet and in 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, we know can say this point is a turning point of a graph of the rock that is thrown as we are told that the function f determines the rocks height above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown therefore this turning point coordinate can be written as (0.76, 57) as we are told the height represents y and x is represented by time in seconds. We are further given another point on the graph where the height is now 0 feet on the road then at this point its after 3.15 seconds in which the rock is thrown in therefore this coordinate is (3.15,0).
now we know if a rock is thrown it moves in a shape of a parabola which we see this equation is quadratic. Now we will use the turning point equation for a quadratic equation to get a equation for the height which the format is
, where (p,q) is the turning point. now we substitute the turning point
, now we will substitute the other point on the graph or on the function that we found which is (3.15, 0) then solve for a.
0 = a(3.15 - 0.76)^2 + 57
-57 =a(2.39)^2
-57 = a(5.7121)
-57/5.7121 =a
-9.9788169 = a then we substitute a to get the quadratic equation therefore f is
