A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building. The baseball's approximate height over time can be represented by the quadratic equation h(t) = -16t2 + 80t + 224, where t represents the time in seconds that the baseball has been in the air and h(t) represents the baseball's height in feet. When factored, this equation is h(t) = -16(t - 7)(t + 2). What is a reasonable time for it to take the baseball to land on the ground?​

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
