Question

A cell phone provider will allow you to buy a phone over time. They

require a $50 initial payment and then charge $25 per month. If the total
amount paid was represented by a function for the total amount paid over
time, what would be the y-intercept?
Aye yo someone help me out

Answer 1

Answer: The y-intercept will be $50 or 50

Explanation:

Since $50 is the initial fee, the 50 dollars will be the y intercept because it is the same as startup amount.

$50 plus $25 a month wlll be $50 + 25x where x is the number of months.

They all have to equal to the total cost which will be represented by y.

y = 25x + 50
