Let y = 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance, in feet, from
home for an ant t minutes after
starting out from a location near its home.
What does the number 2 represent in this function?

Sagot :

Answer:

B. The ant is crawling at 2 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

y = 2t + 5

where

y represent the distance

t denotes the minutes

Now as we know that

y = mx + b

here

m denotes the slope

b represent the y-intercept

In the given equation

i.e.

y = 2t + 5

m = 2

b = 5

so option B is correct
