Answer 2

If no one came to the dinner, the charity would still raise about $1250

Explanation:

The variable x represents the number of people who attend the charity dinner. When x=0, no people came to the dinner.

The variable y represents the amount of money raised (in dollars). When x=0, the value of y is about 1250. That is, the charity raises about $1250 when no people came to the dinner.
