Question

A company packages fruit baskets of different weights and ships them to customers. the company charges a flat fee for packaging the baskets. the total packaging and shipping cost in dollars, y, of a fruit basket weighing x pounds is represented by the line on the graph below. (1 point at (3, 10) another at (6, 16))

what is the y intercept of the line on the graph​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The y-intercept of any given graph is always the value of the y of the point where the line of the graph intercepts or cut across the y-axis. It is the value of y when x = 0.

In this case, the y-intercept of the line of the graph above is y = 4. At y = 4, x = 0.

It represents the flat fee the company charges for packaging the baskets = $4.
