Why did I ask the question? To provoke thought and help her solve it herself, so she can do it again on future problems without requiring assistance.
katlin95, look at the x-axis. The football starts at 0, so that's where it was first kicked. It rises to a certain height, and falls again. Look where it crosses the x-axis for a second time, and how many seconds this been.
And yes it's 5 =)

@masc1124 be careful with such statements, nothing is obvious until after we've learnt it, and it's relative to what we're studying and at what level. I'm studying engineering so I might find some questions of high-school students to be simple, whilst if I ask someone who's a level above me in their studies something I find challenging, they may feel the same. There's no "dumb questions" unless it's the same thing being asked time and time again.
