Part A:
The x-intercept represents the point where each side of the tunnel meets the ground. The first point is at x = 0 and the second is at x = 100 (each square is going up in 10s)
The maximum point represents the highest point of the tunnel.
The function reaches its maximum point before it decreases again in between x = 40 and x = 60
At x = 40 and x= 60, the height of the tunnel is y = 47. Translating this into the context means that at the distance of 40 units and 60 units from the point 0, the height of the tunnel is 47 units
Part B:
When x = 15, y = 25
When x = 35, y = 45
The rate of change is represented by the slope ⇒
(45 - 25) ÷ (35 - 15) = 20÷20 = 1
It means that for every one unit of distance, the height increase by one unit.
