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>

The <em>magi</em> didn't, technically, <em>invent</em> anything. They were wise men or magicians and probably astrologers. Because astrologers watched the skies and could predict where the stars and planets would move to, they were considered to be able to foretell the future.
Personally I think D is the best answer because people who believe in manifest destiny would most likely think that same way but you didn’t really specify on what the author said
Answer:
Ruby pier was his heaven because that was his home and that's where he felt comfortable.
