Gabby is an aspiring country artist. She has a record contract that pays her a base rate of $200 a month and an additional $12 for each album sold. Last month she earned a total of $644. Identify the y-intercept in the equation. x $644 $12 $200

The y-intercept would be $200

Explanation:

Given,

In a month,

Base rate = $200,

Additional charges per album = $ 12,

Thus, the total charges for x albums (say y) = base rate + additional charges for x albums

⇒ y = 200 + 12x

Which is the required equation,

For y-intercept,

x = 0

y = 200 + 12 (0) = 200

Hence, y-intercept in the equation is $200.
