Stephen Hess · Answer 1

Answer: The y-intercept represents A. Hours left to complete

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

30 hours to complete She does 2 hours each day

So, the linear equation that represents the situation is:

y = 30-2x

The y intercept represents the hours left to complete, because the y - intercept occurs when x = 0, 0 hours of service completed, 15 left.
