Maya is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay amount each day and then is paid a commission for every computer sale she makes. The equation P=80+12.50xP=80+12.50x represents Maya's total pay on a day on which she sells xx computers. What is the yy-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem? The yy-intercept of the function is

which represents

The y - intercept of the equation is 80 and this represents the base amount Maya makes every day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is P = 80 + 12.50x, the y-intercept is the value of the function at x = 0. So, substituting x = 0 into the function, we have

P = 80 + 12.50x

P = 80 + 12.50(0)

P = 80 + 0

P = 80

So, the y - intercept of the equation is 80 and this represents the base amount Maya makes every day.
