Answer 2

Answer:

The amount of water that is initially in the water barrel

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume we have a function

y=f(x)

y-intercept means y-value when x=0

so,

y=f(0)

and x=0 means initial value

So, y-intercept means initial value of quantity

here, y is  amount of water

x is time

so,

y-intercept will be the amount of water that is initially in the water barrel
