Question

a football is thrown by a quarterback to a receiver. the points in the figure show the height of the football, in feet, above the ground in terms of its distance, in yards, from the quarterback. use this information to solve the problem. find the coordinates of point b. (28,8) (type an ordered pair. type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.) interpret the coordinates. when the ball has traveled a distance of it is at a height of (type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinate meaning

In an ordered - pair $(x,y)$, $x$ represents the distance of the football from the quarterback in yards and $y$ represents the height of the football above the ground in feet.

Step2: Interpret given coordinates

For the point $B$ with coordinates $(28,8)$, $x = 28$ and $y = 8$.

Answer:

When the ball has traveled a distance of 28 yards it is at a height of 8 feet.
