The y - value is $83.99 when x = 1 which represents the total cost for 1 month of membership.
Explanation:
Given that in city W, the average cost for a gym membership is given by the equation [tex]y=34.99x+49[/tex] where y is the total cost, in dollars, for x months of membership.
We need to determine the meaning of the y - value when x = 1.
The value of y:
Let us determine the value of y when x = 1
Thus, substituting x = 1 in the equation [tex]y=34.99x+49[/tex], we get,
[tex]y=34.99(1)+49[/tex]
[tex]y=34.99+49[/tex]
[tex]y=83.99[/tex]
Thus, the y - value is $83.99 when x = 1 which represents the total cost for 1 month of membership.
