The table shows the height, in meters, of an object that is dropped as time passes until the object hits the ground.A line of best fit for the data is represented by h = –21.962x + 114.655. Which statement compares the line of best fit with the actual data given by the table?

Question illustration
A

B
According to the line of best fit, the object was dropped from a lower height.
C
The line of best fit correctly predicts that the object reaches a height of 40 meters after 3.5 seconds.
D
The line of best fit predicts a height of 4 meters greater than the actual height for any time given in the table.

The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and found that it could be modeled using the equation f(x) = –0.3x2 + 2x, where f(x) is the height of the path of the water above the ground, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance of the path of the water from the end of the hose, in feet.
