While playing mini golf, you hit the ball off of a wall to attempt at making it in the hole. The ball is located at (5,4) and the hole is located at (9,8). The point where the ball hits the wall is (7,0). Write an equation for the path of the ball and then
determine if you will make your putt.

i can you with this sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
