You will use the following situation to complete your task:

A man shines a laser from a third-story window onto the pavement below. The path of the light is represented by the equation y = –(2/3) x + 30. In this problem, y represents the height above the ground, and x represents the distance from the building. All measurements are in feet.

Task:

1. Use the situation above to complete parts A1 through A5.

1. Find the x- and y-intercepts algebraically, showing all work.
2. Graph the equation with appropriate labels.
3. Identify which of the points corresponds to the following:
   • The height of the window
   • The point at which the light hits the ground
4. Determine the height of the light 30 feet away from the building.

1. Explain the process, showing all work.

5. Determine which quadrant(s) is relevant to this problem.
