Answer: The y-intercept represents A. Hours left to complete

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

  • 30 hours to complete
  • She does 2 hours each day

So, the linear equation that represents the situation is:

y = 30-2x

The y intercept represents the hours left to complete, because the y- intercept occurs when x =0 , 0 hours of service completed, 15 left.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
