The linear function y=17x-24 models the relationship between the weekly profit in dollars, y, when the company sells x t-shirts. which of these is the best interpretation of the y-intercept for this model

The y-intercept for the model is -24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The linear function models the relationship between the weekly profit in dollars,y, when the company sells x T-shirts.

To find : Which of these is the best interpretation of the y-intercept for this model ?

Solution :

The general slope form of line is

where, m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept

On comparing with general form,

m=17 and b=-24.

So, the y-intercept for the model is -24.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
