Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the height of the ball as a function of the horizontal distance.

We have the pair (0,4), and in this notation, the first value is the value of x and the second is the value of y.

Then the value x = 0 means that the ball is still in Joey's hands, and the value y = 4 ft means that the ball is 4 ft above the ground.

Then the correct answer B) joey released the ball from a height of 4 feet.

We know that is this because we know that the graph is of a shot, so option A has no sense.
