Answer:
The absolute value function that models the path of the ball is

The coordinates when the ball passes within 3 meters of the wall is

Explanation:
Given that the ball rolls without other external influences, we have;
(y - 0) = (x - 15)
The slope, m is give by the relation;
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (15 - 0)/(0-20) = -3/4
The equation of the path of the ball in slope and intercept form is presented as follows;
y = m·x + c
15 = -3/4 ×0 + c = 15
c = 15
The absolute value function that models the path of the ball is then;

The vale of the function when x = 3 is given by the relation

Therefore, we have the coordinates as
.
