Question

claire fills a jar with homemade granola to give as a gift. the graph shows the total weight of the gift, y, as a function of the amount of granola in the jar, x. is the function linear or non - linear? the graph is a straight line. the function is linear. at what point does the line intersect the y - axis? y - intercept: (0,10) what does the y - intercept mean in this situation? the? is 10 ounces (oz).

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze y - intercept meaning

The y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0. In this context, x represents the amount of granola in the jar (in cups) and y represents the total weight of the gift (in ounces). When x = 0 (i.e., there is no granola in the jar), the total weight of the gift is 10 ounces. This means the weight of the empty jar is 10 ounces.

Answer:

The weight of the empty jar is 10 ounces.
