A company is paying a local television station to run its commercials. The cost for running commercials is a one-time campaign fee and also a per-second fee for the air time of each commercial. The cost can be modeled by the equation y = 500 + 50x where x is seconds.
sooo....what r u asking
What is the y-intercept and what does it represent? A. 500; it represents the per-second fee of air time B. 500; it represents the one-time campaign fee C. 50; it represents the per-second fee of air time D. 50; it represents the one-time campaign fee
hmm,, anything else given in the question
No
It is 500 and it represents the one time campaign fee.
a straight line is of the equation y=mx+c where c is the intercept, here it is 500 and m is the slope of the line..
yeah okay because the intercept means x=0 so no seconds have been spent
500 is selected as the intercept as we see that 500 is the one time campaign fee and mx is the charged value per second.
hmm that was easy got it @BasedBoyIsaiah
I understand it now
GooooD
