Question

The graph shows the number of hours that Tammy spends typing for work, x, and the amount of pay that she earns, y.

On a graph titled Tammy's Pay, number of hours is on the x-axis and pay in dollars is on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 18) and (8, 42).

What does the y-intercept represent?

Answer 1

I second that answer

Answer 2

Answer: The y-intercept is the initial amount Tammy earns.

Explanation:

Always remember that for graphs, the y-intercept is the initial amount. In this case, it would be the initial amount or the very first amount Tammy earns. If the line goes through the origin (0,0), that means that Tammy earns $0.00 for 0 hours of working.
