Harry's school is selling t-shirts to raise money for the archery team. The school will receive 35% of the total sales which can be modeled by the equation y 0.35x, where x represents the total number of sates. What is the meaning of the x-intercept in the equation?

the x-intercept is when y=0,0=35*x, meaning x=0 because anything times 0 is 0. since the amount of sales the school gets is 35% you have to move the decimal 2 spots to the right to get 0.35, of the total sales,x is the total sales and the y-intercepts means $0 in total sales.
