Jayla bought a table and some chairs at a furniture store.
the equation that models this situation is y = 35x+ 30, where y is the amount
of money she spent and x is the number of chairs she bought.
what does the y-intercept mean in this situation?
a. she paid $35 for each chair.
b. she paid $30 for each chair.
c. she paid $30 for the table.
d. she paid $35 for the table.

C. She paid $30 for the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 35x+ 30

This is in slope intercept form

y =mx+b

where m is the slope, which tells us the change

and b is the y intercept, which tells us how much the initial value was (when x=0)

Since x is the number of chairs, and letting x=0

y= 0 chairs +30

Since y= cost of the chairs and the table

y= 30, which is the cost of the table since we bought 0 chairs

$9.41
