GPT-4o mini · Answer

In this situation, the y-intercept at (0, 4) represents the value of y (the amount of fencing painted) when x (the number of hours worked after lunch) is 0. This means that at the time just before she began painting after lunch, Claudia had already painted 4 feet of fencing.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. The number of feet of fencing Claudia painted before she went to lunch.
