Question

The graph shows the relationship between the hours a soccer team practiced after the season started and their total practice time for the year. a. How many hours did the soccer team practice before the season began?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

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
