Answer:
y = (5/8)x
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle, ideally, went through a path of a line. Because she threw it upwards in a slant manner for it to have gotten to the garbage. The equation of a line is given as:
y = mx + c
We are given the vertical height as 10ft and horizontal height as 16ft.
m = vertical height/horizontal height
m = 10ft/16ft
m = 5/8
c is the y-intercept.
Since she is standing on the ground (origin) then the y intercept is 0.
The equation becomes
y = (5/8)x
