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 (type an ordered pair. type integers or decimals rounded to the ne as needed )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

Count the number of grid - squares along the x - axis for point B. Each grid - square on the x - axis represents 4 yards. Point B is at 60 yards from the quarterback, so the x - coordinate is 60.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

Count the number of grid - squares along the y - axis for point B. Each grid - square on the y - axis represents 1 foot. Point B is at 7 feet above the ground, so the y - coordinate is 7.

Answer:

(60, 7)
