Question

andy was on top of a building. he threw a ball up in the air and watched it hit the ground. the path of the ball is modeled by the graph. which choice best approximates the time it took for the ball to hit the ground? height (feet) time (seconds)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the x - axis

The x - axis represents time (in seconds).

Step2: Find the time when the ball hits the ground

The ball hits the ground when the height (y - value) is 0. We look for the x - value where the graph intersects the x - axis. By observing the graph, the x - value at the intersection of the graph and the x - axis is approximately 2.5 seconds.

Answer:

2.5 seconds
