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 line passes through left parenthesis 0 comma 600 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 10 comma 400 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 20 comma 200 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 30 comma 0 right parenthesis.
The graph models the descent of a hot air balloon in feet per minute. What does the y-intercept tell you in this situation?
