Answer 1

is d or b

Answer 2

y-intercept is when the value of x=0

it means, in 0 day you have y number of strawberries

Answer 3

yea i know

Answer 4

so -1?

Answer 5

but you cant have -1 days

Answer 6

At day 0 there were 4 strawberries

Answer 7

No you cannot have a negative day. because you cannot go back in time.

Answer 8

lol thats what am saying

Answer 9

Okay nvm that. What does day zero represent?

Answer 10

day zero represents the initial amount

Answer 11

yes. and if we were to graph this. Days would go on x axis right? and # of strawberries would go on y -axis. So from that, When does a y-intercept occur?

Answer 12

on -1

Answer 13

No, A Y-intercept always occurs when the x value is zero.

Answer 14

ooh so dumb

Answer 15

is c how didnt i see it

Answer 16

and like wise an x intercept occurs when the y value is zero.
