A company is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The company must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y = 8x + 25, where x is hours. What is the y-intercept, and what does it represent? 8; it represents the hourly wage for the worker 8; it represents the cost for insurance 25; it represents the cost for insurance 25; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
since it is the daily cost for insurance and the equation is of hourly cost per worker per day, y would be how much a single worker would be payed in one day, x would be the hours they worked, thus the y intercept is the insurance cost answer: D) 25; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
