BRAINLIESTTTTTTT!!!

1. A company is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The company must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y = 8x + 25, where x is hours.

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

8; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
8; it represents the cost for insurance
25; it represents the cost for insurance
25; it represents the hourly wage for the worker

2. Analyze the following statement:

Brandon puts his water in the refrigerator so it will stay cold.

Is the statement an example of correlation or causation?

Correlation, because there aren't enough observable trials
Causation, because a refrigerator keeps things cold
No relationship, because water temperature is independent of whether or not it is in a refrigerator
There is not enough information to make a conclusion

first part is
25; it represents the cost of insurance

the y intercept would be 25, representing the daily insurance cost for the worker 

causation because the refrigerator keeps things cold

a causation means something happens because something causes it to happen
the drink will stay cold due to the fact that that is what a refrigerator is supposed to do
