Question

What is the vertical intercept of this graph? *Attachment
Please explain!

Answer 1

....

Answer 2

What is the vertical axis?

Answer 3

Find the salary an employee is paid for a 15 hour week...
Hold on.

Answer 4

Which axis is the vertical one?

Answer 5

The total salary?

Answer 6

No. You're making this too hard.

Answer 7

?!

Answer 8

Which one is the vertical one?

Answer 9

Y?

Answer 10

Exactly. Good.

Answer 11

What is the vertical intercept of this graph? That is the question the problem asks. Now that you have identified the vertical axis, can you tell where the graph crosses the vertical axis?

Answer 12

Is this asking for the y-intercept?

Answer 13

It sure is.

Answer 14

Haha! I'm so dumb...
Aright. This is asking for one with a worker which has a 15 hour week.
Can I use the y-intercept from the initial graph?

Answer 15

I don't know what the question is.

Answer 16

Is the y-intercept 90?

Answer 17

Yes

Answer 18

Wow. Math is all abt decoding... :)
Thanks! :)

Answer 19

Sometimes.

Answer 20

You might have to write the equation of the line and find the salary of a worker who works 15 hours over. Is that the question you were trying to answer?

Answer 21

Yeah... But now I'm confused

Answer 22

The graph shows the weekly pay on the y axis and the extra hours worked on the x axis.

Answer 23

The equation of the line can be written because the y intercept is 90 and the slope is 5

Answer 24

Well maybe the slope is not 5. Anyway we would have to find the slope.

Answer 25

What do you think the slope is?

Answer 26

No clue

Answer 27

It's sort of hard to read that graph accurately except for the point (0,90). Can you read one other point on the graph?

Answer 28

YAY!
I got the question right! It was the y-intercept of 90!

Answer 29

Is there another question about this graph or are we done with this one?

Answer 30

We're done! Thanks a lot!! :)

Answer 31

You're welcome!!
