The suspension cables of the George Washington Bridge approximate the shape of a parabola. The two support towers are 900 meters apart, and they reach 100 meters above
the roadway. If the cable reaches a minimum height of 10 meters above the roadway
between the two towers, determine the height of the cable 50 meters from either of the
support towers. Round answer to the nearest 1 decimal place.
meters

your answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

the 2 points are: (3,1) and (6,6)

first, let's find the slope:

(6-1)/(6-3) = 5/3

then let's plug this into the point-slope formula:

y - 1 = 5/3(x - 3)

this is your answer! the below is just the simplified form.

y - 1 = 5/3x - 5

y = 5/3x - 4

try this. the error is that sariah was combining a constant (4.5) with a variable with a coefficient, thus getting an inaccurate answer.

this is also assuming that you meant to put an equal sign before the 4.5 + x 35 x

to solve this problem, the strategy used is just to solve it yourself and find the correct answer by combining like terms.

hope this !
