Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]y=2t+5[/tex] ..... (1)
Where, y is distance from home for an ant t minutes after starting out from a location near its home.
The slope intercept form of a line is
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] .... (2)
Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept or initial value.
On comparing (1) and (2), we get
[tex]m=2, b=5[/tex]
Here, 5 represent the initial distance of ant from its home.
It means the ant is moving at 2 feet per minute and the ant started out 5 feet from its home.
Therefore option B is correct.
