You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do i find the y intercept from :
""You are typing a word document that already contains 100 words, You can type at a rate of 15 words per minute.If you plotted "time" (in minutes) on the x-axis and "total words in the document" on the y axis,what would you plot as your y intercept? Explain. ""
-----
The y-intercept is the number that goes with zero. when zero
is the value of the independent variable.
--------
In your case, y = 100 when the time is zero.
----
The equation would be:
# of words = 15*t + 100 where t is the number of minutes typed.
