Let y 4t + 2 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location near its home. what does the number 4 represent in this function

Let

t-------> the time in minutes

y------> the distance from home for an ant in feet

we know that

y = 4t + 2

In this linear equation

the slope m is equal to

m = 4

The y-intercept is equal to--------> 2

in this problem the y-intercept is the value of the distance in feet when the value of the time in minutes is zero

so

The y-intercept is equal to--------> 2 feet

therefore

the answer is the option

D. The ant started out 2 feet from its home

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
