Jonathan bought a table and some chairs and a furniture store. The equation that models the situation is Y equals 25X +80, where why is the amount of money he spends and X is the number of chairs he bought. What does the Y intercept mean in the situation?

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation modeling the situation is ;

y = 25x + 80

We want to know what the y-intercept mean in this question

Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is ;

y = mx + c

where c is the y intercept and m is the slope

What we should understand is that at the y intercept which is 80 here, the value of x is 0

Now since y means the amount of money spent and x is number of chairs bought, the value 80 means that the amount spent when he bought 0 number of chairs is 80

Now going by the question, since he bought 0 chairs here and we still have some cost, definitely he spent the money on other things which of course might be the amount spent in purchasing some tables
