I do believe it is 12 as well considering the fact that it's negative three and not positive. If it was a positive three then maybe it would be 18.
Answer: See each part below.
Part A: The y-intercept is the first value, or 12. That means that they bird is 12 miles from its nest when the time started.
Part B: The average rate of change is the slope. From 1 to 3 hours, the bird went from 20 to 36 or 16 miles. 16 miles in 2 hours is the same as 8 miles in 1 hour.
Part C: To find the extent of the domain, write and solve the following equation for 172 miles.
172 = 8x + 12
160 = 8x
20 = x
The domain will go up to 20 hours.
