    The y-intercept represents the number of bars sold in the year 2000. In this case y=15 because:

    y=15 (1.1) ^0

    y=15 (1)

    y=15

    And y is in thousands so this represents the sale of 15000 bars in the year 2000.

    The y-intercept, in this case, represents when x is at 0, or when she just began observing.
