After 2 seconds on a penalty kick in soccer, the ball travels 160 feet. After 2.25 seconds on the same kick, the ball travels 220 feet. Write an equation in point-slope form to represent the distance Y of the ball after x seconds.
The point slope equation for this given situation is given by: m(x-x1)=y-y1 where: slope,m=(y-y1)/(x-x1) given 2 points: (2,160) and (2.25, 220) hence: slope,m=(220-160)/(2.25-2)=60/0.25=240 hence the equation in point-slope form will be: 240(x-2)=y-160 Answer: 240(x-2)=y-160
