Question

Alice is having her birthday party at a game center. the center charges $100 plus $20 per guest. the total cost of the party y can be represented by the question y=20x+100. what does the y intercept represent.

Answer 1

The y intercept represent the cost of rent for the game center.

At y-intercept, the value of x is zero. If we're to substitute zero in teh equation for y, that is, y=20x + 100. Then y will be 20(0) + 100 =100, which is the cost of the rent for the game center.
