15; it represents the one-time sign-up fee
The y-intercept can be found either on the graph where the line intercepts the y-axis, or b in the equation y=mx+b.
It represents the fee because it will be charged even if the number of months (x) is zero. 10 is the monthly fee because it is multiplied by x, the number of months.

The school year would be 1981-1982
The answer is D, "No, because two points with the same x-value have different y-values."
Essentially, there cannot be more than one point on the same x-line. Point (2, 11) and point (2, 2) are on the same x-line, which is 2.
Hope this helps!
