A polynomial function is a function involving only non-negative (positive and 0) integer powers of 'x', i.e. all terms with ' 'x' have a non-negative integer power, such as a quadratic 
and so on.
Option E is the answer.
Rest all are wrong answers. they do not have positive integers.
This one is best done by elimination:
We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong.
We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.
Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)
Only C is left.
We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
If one game needs two* players, and there are 5 games,
you multiply two by five to get ten players total.
the answer is:
A. slope: 9, y-intercept: -6
