Question

the graph shows the profit, y, of a community fundraiser, with respect to the number of tickets sold, x.use the graph to determine the y-intercept and what it represents A) the y-intercept = 35 and represents the number of tickets sold B) the y-intercept = -700 and represents the number of tickets sold C) the y-intercept = -700 and represents the initial amount of expensesD) the y-intercept = 35 and represents the initial amount of expenses

Answer 1

we have that

x -----> number of tickets sold

y ----> profit

Remember that

the y-intercept is the value of y, when the value of x is zero

in this context

the y-intercept is the profit when the number of tickets sold is zero (initial value of profit)

Looking at the graph

the y-intercept is $-700

therefore

the answer is option C
