Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her own expenses.
After a month of driving from neighborhood to neighborhood and walking
door-to-door, she figures out that her weekly earnings are approximately a
linear function of the number of doors she knocks on.
She writes the equation of the function like this: E(x) = 20x-50, where x is the
number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(X) is her earnings for
the week in dollars.
Which of the following are reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of
Jessica's function?
Check all that apply.
