Question

The graph shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bee from its hive over a certain amount of time, x, in minutes.

Answer 1

The ordered pair (0 minutes, 6 miles from hive) is the initial value on the graph (the value with time=0). The distance value is 6 miles.

It tells you the distance of the bee from its hive "originally" or "initially" or "at t=0" or whatever equivalent description you might like.


The appropriate choice is ...
   6 miles; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive

Answer 2

Answer:

Based on the graph:

The initial value of the graph is: 6 miles.

It represents the original distance of the bee from its hive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial point is the point where the independent variable is zero and the initial value is the value of the dependent variable at the initial point.

From the graph we observe that the distance of bee from the hive initially i.e. when the time was zero is 6.

Since, at time t=0 the value on the horizontal axis is: 6.

             Hence, the correct option is:

       6 miles; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive.
