A scatter plot was made to show the results of a survey where individuals were asked how many years
of experience they have at their job and what their
annual income is.
A trend line drawn on the scatter plot has an
equation of y = 1,950x + 36,000 where y is the
person's annual income, and x is their number of
years of experience.
Which is the best interpretation of the y-intercept in
the trend line equation?
