Because x is the number of boxes in the shipment, we conclude that the correct option is "the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"
<h3>
What does the y-intercept mean in this case?</h3>
Remember that for a function f(x), the y-intercept is given by f(0).
In this case, the graph represents the amount of allowed weight remaining in a shipment depending on the number of boxes of screws included.
Then the variable x represents "the number of boxes of screws in the shipment".
So when x = 0, there are no boxes.
Then the y-intercepts represents the remaining weight when there are no boxes of screws, which would be all the allowed weight on the shipment.
The correct option is:
"the maximum weight allowed in a shipment"
