It gives function: h = -16t^2 + 40
water is when height is 0 so solve for 0= -16t^2 + 40
subtract 40 from both sides: -40 = -16t^2
divide by -16: -40/-16 = t^2
simplify: 5/2 = t^2
square root both sides: 1.58 = t

Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
We can find this using the formula for arc length (where
is the radius of the circle and
is the central angle in radians):

In our problem, we are given
. This means that:

The measure of the angle is 1.5.
10
because you would do 35 divided by 7 which is 5.
5 x 2 is 10
