To understand what the \(y\)-value represents when \(x = 1\) in the equation \(y = 20x + 78\), we can substitute \(x\) with 1:

\[
y = 20(1) + 78
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
y = 20 + 78 = 98
\]

So when \(x = 1\), the final temperature \(y\) is 98 degrees Fahrenheit.

Looking at the multiple-choice answers provided, the answer that corresponds to this is:

**The oven's temperature after 1 minute.**
