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. (56,7) (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 x - coordinate

In a coordinate pair (x,y), x represents the horizontal value. Looking at the graph, for point B, the horizontal value (distance from the quarterback in yards) is 56.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

In a coordinate pair (x,y), y represents the vertical value. For point B, the vertical value (height of the football in feet) is 7.

Answer:

When the ball has traveled a distance of 56 yards it is at a height of 7 feet.
