SAT Question 4fbffc0a: Nonlinear Functions answer and explanation with Desmos solution

Choice A is correct. It's given that the graph shows the height above ground, in meters, of a ball $x$ seconds after the ball was launched upward from a platform. In the graph shown, the x-axis represents time, in seconds, and the y-axis represents the height of the ball above ground, in meters. It follows that for the marked point $\left(1.0,4.8\right)$, $1.00$ represents the time, in seconds, after the ball was launched upward from a platform and $4.80$ represents the height of the ball above ground, in meters. Therefore, the best interpretation of the marked point $\left(1.0,4.8\right)$ is $1.00$ second after being launched, the ball's height above ground is $4.80$ meters.
