Answer:

10 millimeters

Explanation:

Don't listen to the other answerer who was trolling, I will actually help you. To find how long his beard was when he fell asleep, we need to find the y-intercept. The y-intercept marks how long his beard was right when he fell asleep. From looking at the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is 10. This means his beard was 10 millimeters long when he fell asleep. I hope this helps!
