A party planner estimates a party will cost $200 plus $8 for each person attending. What is the y-intercept of the graph of the linear function representing the total cost of the party?

The y intercept is 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Cost = 200

Per person =8

Required

Determine the y intercept

First, we need to determine the equation.

The total amount (y) for x persons can be calculated using:

y = Base Cost + Amount per person * x.

This gives

y = 200 + 8 * x

y = 200 + 8x

The general expression of a linear equation is:

y = mx + b

Where b = y intercept

By comparison,

b = 200

Hence, the y intercept is 200

Options (1) and (5) are the correct options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is incomplete: find the complete question attached.

Simon's work,

Area of the base = B = = m²

Volume = Bh = 32.5(12) = 390 m³

Let's check the error's he made.

Area of the base of the triangular prism

B =

B = 30 m²

Volume of the prism = (Area of the triangular base)×(Height)

V = 30 × 4

V = 120 m³

Therefore, Options (1) and (5) are the correct options.
