Answer: the line will cross the y-axis at (0, 40).

Explanation:

the line of a function crosses the y-axis at the y intercept. to find the y-intercept, equal x to 0 in the slope intercept equation.

because we know that it is 35 per student and 40 processing fee per group, we know that the slope intercept equation is y = 35x + 40.

with the equation, we plug x in as 0 and solve for y.

y = 35(0) + 40

y = 0 + 40

y = 40

because we know the x-coordinate is 0, we now have the y-coordinate, which is 40.

therefore, the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 40)
