The height y, in feet, of a football x seconds after it is thrown is modeled by the equation y = â€"16x2 24x 1. What information does the zero of the equation 6 = â€"16x2 24x 1 represent? the height of the ball after 6 seconds when the ball is 6 ft above the ground the initial upward velocity of the ball the horizontal distance traveled by the ball when it is 6 ft above the ground.

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
