Tamara launches a model rocket that sends tracking data to an app on her phone. After the rocket launches, the app collects the horizontal distance in feet the rocket
has traveled from her phone, x, and the vertical distance in feet the rocket has
traveled from her phone, y. The table shows some of the collected data from the
rocket launch.

Which equation best models the collected data?
A y = -0.32x2 + 30.72x + 5
By = 9.93x + 180.31
C y = 49.53(1.06)*
D y = -0.31x2 + 30.31% + 3.96
