Interpret the Linear Equation

Multiple Choice

Interpret the linear equation.
-The speed of a ball dropped from a tower is given by the linear function y = 32x where y is in feet per second and x is the number of seconds since the ball was dropped. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the
Linear equation.

A) m = 32; The speed of the ball increases 32 feet per second every second. There is no y-intercept to interpret.
B) m = 32; The speed of the ball is 32 feet per second. b = 0; When the ball is dropped at x = 0, the ball has fallen 0 feet.
C) m = 32; The speed of the ball increases 32 feet per second every second. b = 0; The speed of the ball was 0 the moment it was dropped.
D) m = 0; The speed of the ball does not increase as time passes. b = 32; At time x = 0, the ball has fallen 32 feet.
