B.
The helicopter takes 3.75 hours to travel to its final destination at the airport.

C.

Answer 1

The correct description of the y-intercept of the graph would be:

C. The helicopter begins its journey 525 miles away from the airport.

The y-intercept represents the value of the variable on the y-axis when the variable on the x-axis is zero. In this context, it indicates the starting point of the helicopter's journey before any distance has been covered.
