  (27, 0); the time it takes to reach the bus stop

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (x, f(x)) represents (time, distance away), the x-intercept will be the time when the distance away is zero. That is, it is the time it takes to reach the bus stop.

The distance decreases by 5 meters for each time increase of 3 minutes, so to decrease the distance by 45 meters takes 9 times 3 = 27 minutes. The x-intercept is (27, 0).

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
