The equation that represents the canned goods order is 24x + 64y = 384, where x = number of minutes for producing fruit cans and y = number of minutes for producing vegetable cans. What is the meaning of the y-intercept?

Answer:

Sample Answer: The y-intercept, at the point (0, 6), indicates the choice to produce vegetables for 6 minutes. In 6 minutes, producing 64 cans of vegetables each minute, all 384 cans for the order will be completed. The 0 for the x-value represents that no time is spent producing cans of fruit.
