You are shooting baskets in gym class. You are standing about 5 ft away from the basket and the hoop is at a standard height of 10 ft. The graph of y_1 = −0.4x^2 + 10 represents this scenario. After making 10 baskets at this spot your gym teacher tells you to move to a new spot. The graph of y2 = −0.15x^2 + 10 represents your shots after the move.
Describe your new location in terms of your original location. Use the equation to explain.
