A bucket catches water dripping from a leak in the ceiling. About 0.8 L drips into the bucket per hour. Lara graphs the number of liters in the bucket versus time. She plots the number of liters in the bucket along the vertical axis, and she plots time in hours along the horizontal axis.

What is the y-intercept of the line?

The equation is 0.8x..because 0.8 liters go in the bucket every hour..therefore the line crosses the x and y-intercept at (0, 0), which means the y-intercept is 0..
