Question

the graph represents graces walk home from school. use the graph to answer the following questions. identify the y - intercept. enter the x and y coordinates in the boxes provided. enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest terms if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall y - intercept definition

The y - intercept is the point where the line crosses the y - axis. At this point, the x - coordinate is 0.

Step2: Identify from the graph

Looking at the graph of Grace's walk home, when x = 0 (time = 0 minutes), the distance from home is 2.5 (assuming the units on the y - axis are in some distance unit).

Answer:

(0, 2.5)
