A. a horizontally stretched S-shaped line
The shape of the graph of a polynomial equation can vary depending on the degree of the polynomial and the coefficients of the terms. In this case, since Rhianna is modeling the speed of a salmon swimming with or against the current, the graph will likely be a horizontally stretched S-shaped line, displaying the relationship between speed and direction of swimming.
