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>

<span>The information we can obtain from the Constitution of the United States by the Confederates is about the slavery of the South and the Cause of the Union. This is based on references about the importance of domestic tranquility and the importance of securing freedom, but only for people protected by the government of the confederate states.</span>
Could you list the possible answers? Until then, I think a 'metaphor' would fit in there.
