Question 1120700: A golfer is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown. The golf ball is at the point (2.5, 2) and the hole is at the point (9.5, 2). The golfer wants to bank the ball off the side wall of the green at the point (x, y). Find the coordinates of the points (x, y). Show equation used and steps to get the coordinates.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A golfer is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown. The golf ball is at the point (2.5,2) and the hole is at the point (9.5,2). The golfer wants to bank the ball off the side wall of the green at the point (x, y). Find the coordinates of the points (x,y). Show equation used and steps to get the coordinates.
---------------
Neglecting friction, spin, etc.:
The distance to the side wall is not given.
The ball will hit the side wall at half the distance to the hole.
--> x = (2.5+9.5)/2 = 6
The point is (6,y)
