Julia finds that the data in the table can be modeled by the function y = 5(4)x.

Question illustration
A
Julia is correct because the distance starts at 5 feet and increases by a factor of 4.
B
Julia is correct because the function is true for (0, 5) and (1, 20).
C
Julia is not correct because the function is not true for the point (2, 80).
D
Julia is not correct because the distance does not increase by a constant factor each minute.
