Just took the quiz. Hope this helps you guys baiii <33

Answer 2

Let

x------> the time in hours

y------> the distance in kilometers

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

In this problem the x-intercept is about the point
`(0.80,0)`

that means

The number of remaining hours it takes to walk to work is
`0.80` hours (about
`48` minutes

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem the y-intercept is the point
`(0,4)`

that means

The remaining distance from home to work after Michael starts walking is
`4` kilometers

therefore

the answer in the attached figure
