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

The distance from the wall defined by the y-axis will be 8 feet. Then the correct option is B.

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The table is given below.

Then the equation of the line will be

(y – 8) = [(8 – 6) / (0 – 20)](x – 0)

y = -0.1x + 8

If the drain is at the minimum point.

Then the distance from the wall defined by the y-axis will be 8 feet.

Then the correct option is B.
