A small dairy farm writes a business plan. It includes a graph showing the estimated amount of feed used each day in thousands of pounds, y, compared to the number of years since the farm began operating, x. What does the y-intercept represent? the estimated amount of years the farm can afford feed the maximum feed per day estimated for the life of the farm the estimated amount of feed per day for the start of the farm the maximum years the farm needs the originally estimated feed per day

  the estimated amount of feed per day for the start of the farm

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis represents years since the farm began operating. Then x=0 corresponds to the time that the farm began operation.

The y-axis represents thousands of pounds of feed used each day. Then the y-intercept represents the amount of feed used per day at the time the farm began operation.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
