Answer:
• The function is a linear function
• The function changes at a constant rate
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph of the function shows it to be a straight line (linear function). Such a function always changes at a constant rate. The line goes downward to the right, so the function is a decreasing function.
___
"changes at a constant rate" and "linear function" are two different ways of saying the same thing: the graph of the function is a straight line.
Part A) x-intercepts simply show that when the value of the function is zero. Vertex coordinates show that when the function obtains its maximum value. When x=50, function obtains its maximum value and it's 75. The function is increasing in the interval (0, 50) and decreasing in the interval (50, 100). In regard to the height and distance of the tunnel, these numbers show that decreasing and increasing intervals are symmetric. Each number from the intervals has its own pair in the corresponding interval and they are located in the same distance from the midpoint (50,75)
Part B) In order to calculate the average rate of change, we can first write the function. Using the information about the x-intercept and the vertex coordinates, we find that our function is
.
Plugging 15 and 35 in x, we can find the values of the function, i.e.
and 
.
Then, the average change is
