Correct choices:

- The average amount of time the shop needs to prepare the food for delivery is 5 minutes.
- Reason: setting x = 0 gives y = 5, the intercept (time when distance = 0).

- On average, it takes the delivery person 2.5 minutes to travel 1 mile.
- Reason: the slope 2.5 is minutes per mile (additional minutes per each mile).
