Question

BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER
The graph models how the population of a particular species of flower in a forest has changed over time.

What does the y-intercept represent?


A) It took 200 years for the flower to disappear from the forest.


B) The difference between the greatest and least populations was 200.


C) When initially counted, the flower population was 200.


D) The flower population peaked at 200.

Answer 1

C) When initially counted, the flower population was 200.

If you look at zero on the x- intercept and you go all the way up to the top of the line, you will reach 200 which means that this was the initial amount of flowers. 
I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

C. When initially counted, the flower population was 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph, which represents the population of a particular species of flower in a forest has changed over time. We are asked to choose the correct option about the y-intercept.

Since we know that y-intercept represents the initial value as y-intercept is the point, where line crosses y-axis. We know that at x equals 0 the line of function crosses y-axis.

We can see from our given graph that our the function crosses y-axis at 200. This means at time equals 0, the initial population of flower species in forest was 200 flowers, therefore, option C is the correct choice.
