Question 537127: What is the y-intercept and does it have any meaning in this situation. The tuition is $90 per credit and the student fees are set at $50

You can write the equation for the total cost of tuition (y) in terms of the number of credits (x).
The y-intercept here is 50 and this represents the minimum cost of tuition, but why would anyone pay a student fee of $50 and take zero credits?
