What is the y-intercept of the line?

zale101 · Answer

the y-intercept is a point located at the y-vertical axis

zale101 · Answer

the y vertical axis represent how many money was saved, so how many money was saved from the beginning. Keep in mind, i didn't draw the left side of the graph (negative x-values) because that's all negative, and we are not dealing with how many money lost, but how many money ws gained. Also, neglect the bottom line of the y axis, that indicates negative y values.
