Question

A ball is thrown straight up into the air, 8ft to the right of the house, which is at the origin. For which values A, B, and C will Ax + By = C represent the line that includes the path of the ball

Answer 1

A = 1,

B = 0

C = 8.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A = 1, B = 0 and C = 8

Explanation:

If we consider the vertical line to be y-axis and the horizontal line as the x-axis, then the ball is thrown parallel to the y-axis from a point which is (8,0).

{Since the house is the origin and the ball is thrown from a point which is 8 feet to the right of the house}

So, the equation of the path of the thrown ball will be x = 8

Therefore, A = 1, B = 0 and C = 8. (Answer)
