<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is: The y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given a scatter plot with a best fit line as shown on the given graph.
The equation of the best fit line is given by:
y = 0.75x + 5
So with the help of the equation and by looking at the given graph, we can conclude about the representation of the y intercept that the the y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.
Since the distance shown on the y axis is already 5 when the time started at 0 minutes.
The given triangle is isosceles, so the two remaining angles in the triangle both have measure <em>xº</em>. The interior angles of any triangle sum to 180º, so that
58º + <em>xº</em> + <em>xº</em> = 180º
58 + 2<em>x</em> = 180
2<em>x</em> = 122
<em>x</em> = 61
Angles <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> are supplementary to angle <em>x</em>, so that
<em>xº</em> + <em>yº</em> = 180º
and
<em>xº</em> + <em>zº</em> = 180º
and consequently, <em>y</em> = <em>z</em>. In particular, we get
<em>y</em> = 180 - 61
<em>y</em> = 119
and so
<em>z</em> = 119
