Answer: $450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed = $450

Amount charged per lawn = $35

Operating cost per lawn = $8

Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :

Amount borrowed + operating cost

If x lawns are mowed :

$450 + $8 per lawn

$450 + $8x

C(x) = 450 + 8x

Intercept (value of y when x = 0

Value of C(x) ; when x = 0

C(x) = 450 + 8(0)

C(x) = 450 + 0

C(x) = 450
