Question

Jonathan bought a table and some chairs at a furniture store.

The equation that models this situation is y = 25x + 80, where y is the amount of money he spent and x is the number of chairs he bought.

What does the y-intercept mean in this situation

Answer 1

It must be the cost of the one table.

Explanation:

It's logic. 25x is the cost of the (unknown) number of chairs.

The total Amount he spent is the cost of the chairs plus what he spent on the table.
