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?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well, if the bucket is empty the intercept is 0 because there is 0 start.

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

so the answer is zero?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hmmm

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i think 0 because there is nowhere said the the bucket had some amount of water

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

Yeah, makes sense.

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
