Please help

the equation ^y= 2.391x+57.420 models The taste rating of a serial y in a survey where x is the number of grams of sugar per serving

what does the y intercept of the equation represent in context of the situation

a cereal with 0 grams of sugar has a rating of about 2.391

the average number of grams of sugar is 2

the average number of grams of sugar is 57

a cereal with 0 grams of sugar has a rating of about 57 ​

Answer 1

(D)a cereal with 0 grams of sugar has a rating of about 57 ​

Explanation:

The equation y= 2.391x+57.420 models the taste rating of a cereal y in a survey where x is the number of grams of sugar per serving.

When x=0

y= 2.391(0)+57.420

y=57.420

Since x is the number of grams of sugar per serving, and x=0 at the y-intercept.

We therefore state that in this context, a cereal with 0 grams of sugar per serving has a rating, y of about 57.

The correct option is D.
