The y-intercept in this context is the account balance when the account was opened, which is $260.
that is incorrect
Apologies for the confusion. The y-intercept in this context is the account balance when there are no deposits made, which is $260.
that is not the right answer try again
Apologies for the mistake once again. Upon reviewing the table, the y-intercept should be $260, as it represents the account balance when there are no deposits made.
its NOT 260
I apologize for the incorrect response. Upon further analysis of the table, the y-intercept in this context would be $0. This represents the account balance when no deposits have been made.
is it 100 80 or 160
Based on the information given in the table and the context of the problem, the correct answer should be 260. The y-intercept represents the account balance when the account was opened, which is $260.
