The situation that could be described by the linear function is given as follows:
Each point shows the remaining distance, in feet, to the finish line of a race t seconds after a runner begins the final stretch and runs at a constant speed.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Linear function have constants rate of change, and in this problem we want a function in which the output is decaying, hence the correct option is given by:
Each point shows the remaining distance, in feet, to the finish line of a race t seconds after a runner begins the final stretch and runs at a constant speed.
