A quadratic function is used to describe the arch of a bridge. At the base, the arch is 20 feet wide and has a maximum height of 8 feet. If the left side of the base is at the origin, which graph best represents
the function?

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

time is equal to distance over rate so

t = d/r

need a little bit more information for the second question.
