Solution 1

The slope of the line that represents the height of the car in meters in terms of time in seconds is 4/3. This is because the car gains 4 meters in height every 3 seconds, so the rate of change (or slope) is 4/3.

If the car takes 54 seconds to reach the maximum height, then we can find the maximum height by multiplying the time it takes to reach the maximum height (54 seconds) by the slope (4/3).

So, the maximum height above the ground is 54 * (4/3) = 72 meters.

Solution 2

The slope of the line that represents the height of the car in meters in terms of time in seconds is the rate of change of the height with respect to time. Given that the car gains 4 meters in height every 3 seconds, the slope is 4/3 meters per second.

To find the maximum height above the ground, we multiply the time it takes to reach the maximum height by the slope. Given that the car takes 54 seconds to reach the maximum height, the maximum height is 54 * (4/3) = 72 meters.

So, the slope of the line is 4/3 and the maximum height above the ground is 72 meters.
