Question

Part A

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The y-intercept is 160. It represents the initial distance Jayden was from his home.

b) The x-intercept is 4. It represents the amount of time taken for Jayden to reach his home.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept can be found by looking at the value of y when x=0. When x=0, y= 160. Since the x-axis is the amount of time in hours, x=0 would mean the initial time. The x-axis is the number of miles from Jayden's home thus, Jayden was 160 miles away from his home when x=0 hours.

The x-intercept can be found by looking at the x value when y=0. When y=0, x=4. This means that it took Jayden 4 hours to reach home or 4 hours to travel 160miles to his house.
