The function for the speed of a ball thrown straight up in the air is given by v(t) = 128 − 32t, where v is the ball's velocity (in feet per second) and t is the number of seconds after the ball is thrown. What is the slope? What does it represent? (1 point)
−32; velocity decreases at rate of 32 feet per second as the time increases
32; velocity increases at rate of 32 feet per second as the time increases
−128; velocity decreases at rate of 128 feet per second as the time increases
128; velocity increases at rate of 128 feet per second as the time increases

A) −32; velocity decreases at rate of 32 feet per second as the time increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite v(t) = 128 - 32t as v(t) = -32t + 128

We see that our slope is -32 ft/s given it's in slope-intercept form with an initial height of 128 feet.

Separating your figure into two separate parts would solve this problem.let's start with the square first. each of the sides of the square is 4 yards long. to find the area of a square, use the formula  a =   (area = side).a =  a = 16 next, we'll find the area of the triangle. the formula for the area of a triangle is  a =  bh (area =  base x height). the height of your triangle is made up of two 4 yard segments. the total for the height would then be 8 yards (4+4).a = (6  · 8)a = (48)a = 24 ydlet's combine to find the total area of the entire figure.square = 16 triangle = 24 ydadding them together, the total area will give you an answer of 40 yd.
