Anne has a total of 3,500 golf balls at home. She loses some golf balls when she goes out on the driving range daily. The number of golf balls, h (x), can be represented by the function h (x) = - 150x + 3,500, where x is the number of days she plays golf. Suppose 3,500 changed to 4,000. What does this mean in the context of the problem?

This would mean that she has a total of 4,000 golf balls. This means that she can play for 26 full days instead of 23.

The y intercept changing to 4000 means that she has a total of 4,000 golf balls at home. There, she will have a greater amount of golf balls afterwards.
