Answer:
6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>
Let
x ----> the hours a soccer team practiced after the season started
y ----> the total practice time for the year in hours
we know that
The y-intercept of a linear equation is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
In the context of this problem, the y-intercept is the total practice time before the season began (the value of x is equal to zero)
Looking at the graph
The y-intercept is the point (0,6)
therefore
the total practice time before the season began is 6 hours
