A child stands at the foot of a tall slide and throws a ball toward the top of the slide. The foot of
the slide is located at the origin; the shape of the slide is modeled by the equation y = 2x; the
path of the ball through the air is modeled by y *? + 5x, where x is the horizontal distance
traveled by the ball and y is the height of the ball (both distances in feet). When the ball hits the
slide, how many feet off the ground will it be?
