Answer:

The number of cars in the garage at 4 am is the y-intercept so 2 cars were there at that time.

The model represented by y = 3.56x + 2 can be interpreted thus.
There were 2 cars in the garage at 4 am (at the beginning of counting) and 3.56 ≈ 4 cars enters the garage every hour.

Therefore, about 4 cars enter the car every hour.
