It is his base salary

Answer:

y-intercept in the equation is, A base salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

[tex]y = mx+c[/tex]              ....[1]

where, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given the equation:

y = 0.1x + 20,000

where, x is the number of units and y is the salary

Comparing with equation [1] we have;

m = 0.1

y(0)= c = 20000

Therefore, the meaning of the y-intercept in the equation is, a base salary.
