Question

Suppose you spend $180 on equipment to make a new board game. In addition, each game costs $2 to make. After doing market research, you determine that the games will sell or $20 each.

what is the y-intercept of the cost equation?

Answer 1

90

Explanation:

Answer 2

The y-intercept of an equation is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, i.e when x = 0.

In this case, the cost equation is C = 2x + 180, where C is the total cost and x is the number of board games produced.

So when x = 0, C = 2(0) + 180 = 180

Therefore, the y-intercept of the cost equation is (0,180)

So the y-intercept of the cost equation is 180.
