step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

during a tunnel construction project, engineers used explosives to excavate partway into a mountain. but due to constraints and environmental concerns, they later introduced a tunnel boring machine (tbm) to excavate the rest of the tunnel. the length and of the completed tunnel (in feet) is based on the number of days since the tbm started working. the length can be calculated using the equation y = 25x + 225. what does the y-intercept represent in this scenario?
