Question

Adam calculates his annual commission, y, using the model y = 0.28x, where x represents his total sales for the year. What is the meaning of the x-intercept in the model?

Answer 1

The x intercept is where Adam made 0 commission for x number of sales.

Explanation:

The x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis. It has a point (a,0) where y=0. In this model y is Adams total commission and x is his total sales. The x intercept is where Adam made 0 commission for x number of sales.
