Data was collected on the weight of a male laboratory rat for the first 25 weeks after its birth. The linear regression equation is y= 40x+100, where x is number of weeks and y is weight in grams. What does the y-intercept mean in context of the problem?

• The predicted weight of the rat in year one.

• The predicted weight of the rat at birth.

• The current weight of the rat.

• The average increase in the rat's weight.
