Question

Based on an architectural drawing, a roof slopes to a drain

along the function represented in the table that defines the
edge of slope, where x is the horizontal distance in feet and
f(x) is the vertical distance in feet.
If the drain is at the minimum point, how far is it from the wall
defined by the y-axis?
0 feet
8 feet
80 feet
160 feet

Answer 2

80 feet

Explanation:

The smallest value of f(x) in the table is f(x) = 0. It occurs where x = 80.

Since x is the horizontal distance in feet from the wall, the minimum point (drain) is 80 feet from the wall.
