Let y- 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location near its home. what does the number 5 represent in this function?

The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

im pretty sure it would be 5 am, hope that , and give brainliest and guys if this is right then press the button and give 5 stars
