The graph represents a function that is between hours and miles and to determine the equation which belong to this graph, we need to find the slope first by using two points from the graph which are (0, 105) and (3, 0).
The definition of slope is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (0-105)/3-0
= -105/3
= -35
The slope is -35 and remember that the slope is the coefficient of the variable x. Therefore, the answer is:
A: The coefficient changes from 120 to 117, and the base changes from 1.033 to 1.035. The function that represents the second model is A(t)=117(1.035)^t.
