A company is paying a local television station to run its commercials. The cost for running commercials is a one-time campaign fee and also a per-second fee for the air time of each commercial. The cost can be modeled by the equation y = 500 + 50x where x is seconds.

What is the y-intercept and what does it represent?

A500; it represents the per-second fee of air time

B500; it represents the one-time campaign fee

C50; it represents the per-second fee of air time

D50; it represents the one-time campaign fee

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to zero. From the equation,

y = 500 + 50x

the y-intercept is calculated by:

y = 500 + 50(0) = 500

Therefore, the correct answer is option B. The y-intercept is 500; it represents the one-time campaign fee.
