Answer:
C. <u>Karma was given $60 for her birthday</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.
If we graph the equation given to us in the question we can see the following graph (attached below). If we then look at the y-intercept we can see that the function crosses the y-axis at a value of 60. Therefore we can safely say that the y-intercept means that <u>Karma was given $60 for her birthday</u>. Since the y-intercept represents an initial static (non-changing) value in the function.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

For the red line, we have:
gradient (
) = 1/3
y-intercept = 3
Equation of straight line is given by
, where is the gradient and 
is where the line intercept the y-axis
So we have,
The shaded part is above the line, hence the first inequality is
The black line, we have
gradient,
= 3
y-intercept = -2
, rearranging gives
The shaded region is to the right of the line, hence the inequality is
Note: The first option should be the correct answer but the inequality sign for <span>y > 1/3x + 3 should be </span>
