Question

Let y=2t+5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant t minutes after starting out from the location near it’s home.What does the number 2 represent in this function?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer would be B.

Every minute the ant it traveling, the ant has covered 2 units of distance (units is not given). This is known as the rate of change, or the slope.

Hope this helps!
