The equation y=36 + 18x models the relationship between the height y, in inches, of a typical golden delicious apple tree and the number of years, x, after it was planted. If the equation is graphed in the xy-plane, what is indicated by the y-intercept of the graph?

• The age, in years, of a typical apple tree when it is planted

• The height, in inches, of a typical apple tree when it is planted

• The number of years it takes a typical apple tree to grow

• The number of inches a typical apple tree grows each year

Giovanni wants to buy shirts that cost $19.40 each and sweaters that cost $24.80 each. An 8% sales tax will be applied to the entire purchase. If Giovanni buys 2 shirts, which equation relates the number of sweaters purchased, p, and the total cost in dollars, y?

• 1.08(38.80+24.80p)=y

• 38.80+24.80p=0.92y

• 38.80+24.80p=1.08y

• 0.92(38.80+24.80p)=y
