To determine which of the provided options could use both intercepts to produce viable solutions, we need to consider the nature of the relationships between the variables in each pair.

  1. Temperature, number of car rentals: This could have a viable relationship, especially in terms of seasonal effects on car rentals (higher rentals in warmer weather), but might not logically use both intercepts.

  2. Number of nominations, number of awards: While a relationship exists (more nominations could imply more awards), it doesn't inherently use intercepts in a practical sense.

  3. Age, weight: There is a potential relationship here (generally age and weight might have some correlation), but again, the direct application of intercepts doesn't lead to significant useful analysis.

  4. Years of experience, starting salary: This is a common relationship where more experience typically correlates with a higher starting salary. In financial modeling, the intercept would often represent the base salary without experience, making both intercepts relevant in a business context.

Based on these evaluations, the option (years of experience, starting salary) is the one that could use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
