Understanding What Intercepts Represent Iniciar sesión | Mine... drawing.ga English The linear equation shown below expresses the revenue of a café based on the number of children and adults who ate there last Tuesday. \[ 10 x+15 y=180 \] \( x= \) number of children \( y= \) number of adults What does the \( x \)-intercept represent? Eighteen children and no adults ate at the café. \( \vee \) What does the \( y \)-intercept represent? No children and twelve adults ate at the café. Twelve children and no adults ate at the café. No children and eighteen adults ate at the café. Eighteen children and no adults ate at the café.

What does the y-intercept of the line tell you about the situation?
Pritesh R.
Explain what the slope and intercept mean in each situation. a. A graph represents the perimeter, $y$, in units, for an equilateral triangle with side length $x$ units. The slope of the line is 3 and the $y$-intercept is 0 . b. The amount of money, $y$, in a cash box after $x$ tickets are purchased for carnival games. The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{4}$ and the $y$-intercept is $8 .$ c. The number of chapters read, $y$, after $x$ days. The slope of the line is $\frac{5}{4}$ and the $y$ intercept is $2 .$ d. The graph shows the cost in dollars, $y$, of a muffin delivery and the number of muffins, $x$, ordered. The slope of the line is 2 and the $y$-intercept is 3 .

QUESTION 15: Which is the best description of the intercept for the linear regression equation? Weight = 100 + 40 Age Weight in grams and Age in years The intercept is about 100, which is where the line crosses the X-axis. About 100 is where the data starts. The intercept is about 40g. Indicating a significant amount of growth. The intercept is 100, which means the rat is predicted to weigh about 100 grams.
