Which of the following options could use both intercepts to produce viable solutions?

Years of experience, starting salary

Number of nominations, number of awards

1 answer

None of the options - age and weight, temperature and number of car rentals, and number of nominations and number of awards - can use intercepts to produce viable solutions.

An intercept in a linear equation represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero. In the context of the given options, it doesn't make sense for any of the independent variables to be zero. For example, age and weight can never be zero, temperature and number of car rentals cannot be zero, and years of experience and starting salary usually cannot be zero.

Therefore, none of the given options can use intercepts to produce viable solutions.
