A football is thrown by a quarterback to a receiver. The points in the figure show the height of the football, in feet, above the ground in terms of its distance, in yards, from the quarterback. Use this information to solve the problem.

A coordinate plane has a horizontal x-axis labeled Distance of the Football from the Quarterback in yards from 0 to 60 in increments of 3 and a vertical y-axis labeled Football's Height Above the Ground in feet from 0 to 14 in increments of 1. An arc starts where a point labeled Quarterback throws the ball at (0, 6.3) and ends where a point labeled Receiver catches the ball at (45.6, 6). The arc passes through the plotted points as follows, where the label is listed first and the coordinates of the point are listed second: A, (3, 8); C, (9, 10.6); D, (36, 10.6); B, (42, 8).

To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of point A and interpret them.
From the information provided, point A is given as (3, 8). This means:
So, the coordinates of point A are: (3, 8)
The coordinates (3, 8) can be interpreted as follows:
Part 1: (3, 8)
Part 2:
