Karma was given some birthday money. She puts the money in an account. Every month after that, she deposits the same amount of money. The equation that models this situation is y = 75x + 60, where y is the amount of money in the account and x is the number of deposits.
What does the y-intercept mean in this situation?
A. She puts $75 in the account each month.
B. She was given $60 for her birthday.
C. She puts $60 in the account each month.
D. She was given $75 for her birthday.
B. She was given $60 for her birthday.
In this situation, the y-intercept represents the initial amount of money in the account when x = 0, which would be the money Karma was given for her birthday.
