Jana earns $25 per week for mowing the lawn and deposits the money into her savings account. The amount of money in Jana’s accou
nt can be represented by the equation y = 25x + 125, where x is the number of weeks she has been mowing the lawn. What does the y-intercept of the graph represent in this situation?
The amount of money in the account in addition to that earned from mowing lawns.
Step-by-step explanation:
125 is the amount in the account when 0 weeks are spent mowing lawns. Presumably, it is the initial value of the account before the first lawn money is added.
If the graph shows the height of the balloon after t minutes from beginning of descent, look to when t = 0. At t=0 it has not yet begun it's descent because no minutes have passed. At that point on the graph the height is 95 m (the point is (0,95))
