What is the function that represents the height of the ball in terms of its distance from a player?

7. A football player kicks a football across the football field. The ball leaves the player's foot at a height of 2 ft. It follows a path in the shape of a parabola.

At the highest point, the ball is a horizontal distance of 15 feet from the player and 8 feet above ground. What is the function that represents the height of the ball in terms of its distance from a player?

The equation would be -6/225(x-30)^2+2
