Consider the graph to the right. a. In words, describe the function shown on the graph. b.Find the slope of the graph and express it as a rate of change. c. Briefly discuss the conditions under which a linear function is a realistic model for the given situation. a. Select the correct answer below. OA. According to the function, the distance from home increases by 9 miles every 500 hours. OB. According to the function, the distance from home decreases by 9 miles every 500 hours. OC. According to the function, the distance from home increases by 500 miles every 9 hours. D. According to the function, the distance from home decreases by 500 miles every 9 hours. b. Calculate the slope and represent it as a rate of change. rate of change = miles per hour (Round to the tenths place as needed.)
