At the end of a snow storm, Nolan saw there was a lot of snow on his front lawn. The temperature increased and the snow began to melt at a steady rate. The depth of
snow on Nolan's lawn, in inches, can be modeled by the equation
S = -1.75t + 14, where t is the time, in hours, after the snow stopped falling:
What is the y-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of
the problem?
