Use the image to answer the question.A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from 0 to 30 by 10-unit increments and its y-axis ranges from 0 to 600 by 200-unit increments. A diagonal line is plotted.The graph models the descent of a hot air balloon in feet per minute. What does the y-intercept tell you in this situation?(1 point)ResponsesIt will take the balloon 600 minutes to descend.It will take the balloon 600 minutes to descend.The balloon takes 0 minutes to descend 600 feet.The balloon takes 0 minutes to descend 600 feet.The balloon rises 600 feet.The balloon rises 600 feet.The balloon starts its descent at 600 feet.The balloon starts its descent at 600 feet.Skip to navigation
