Question

Equation 1: C = 1.29x

Equation 2: C = 21 + 0.99x

what is the y intercept of the line for each question? ​

Answer 1

• 0
• 21

Explanation:

The y-intercept is basically the constant.

In the first equation, there's no constant term, so the intercept is 0.

In the second equation, the constant term is 21.

∴ The y-intercepts are 0 and 21, respectively.

Answer 2

Eq1 - 0

Eq2 - 21

Explanation:

For Equation 1, the y-intercept is 0, since there is no constant term in the equation.

For Equation 2, the y-intercept is 21, which represents the fixed cost or the cost incurred even when the production is zero.
