A line is plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis representing months ranges from negative 1 to 12 in unit increments. The y-axis representing total amount paid in dollars ranges from negative 50 to 600 in increments of 50, but marked at every 100.

The correct interpretation of the y-intercept (0, 150) is:
Option #3: The initial amount of money Claire earns is $150.
This y-intercept indicates that at the beginning (when the number of months worked is zero), Claire has already earned $150 from her sign-on bonus.
