I think the answer is characterization (I originally said plot but I just realized that I made a mistake when I was reading. Sorry about that! Hope I didn't mess anything up for you.) :D
if you could list them with some separation or order i could help you out
A. The y-intercept of the function is equal to the value of y when x = 0, so y = 8 ft
<u><em /></u>
This means that the horse is already 8 ft away from the barn initially.
<u><em /></u>
B. The average rate of change represents the slope of the equation. This can be calculated using the formula:
<u><em /></u>
m = (158 – 58) / (3 – 1) = 50 ft / hour
<u><em /></u>
C. Since we already have our y-intercept and slope, we can establish the line equation:
<u><em /></u>
y = 50 x + 8
<u><em /></u>
When y = 508 then x is,
<u><em /></u>
508 = 50 x + 8
<u><em /></u>
50 x = 500
<u><em /></u>
x = 10 hours
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>It takes 10 hours to reach a displacement of 508 ft.</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
