A coordinate plane of quadrant 1 is titled Burger Total in Dollars versus Number of Toppings. The x-axis labeled Number of Toppings ranges from 0 to 4 in increments of 1. The y-axis labeled Burger Total in Dollars ranges from 2.00 to 3.25 in increments of 0.25. Five points are plotted on the plane with the following approximate coordinates: left parenthesis 0 comma 2.50 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 2.65 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 2.80 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 2.95 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 3.15 right parenthesis. what does the y-intercept tell you

The y-intercept of this graph is approximately (0, 2.50). This point represents the starting cost of a burger with 0 toppings, which is $2.50. Therefore, the y-intercept tells us the base cost of the burger before any additional toppings are added.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct interpretation of the y-intercept (0, 2.50) is that it represents the base cost of a burger with no additional toppings, which is $2.50.
