The x-intercept is when y = 0
Equation: y = -25x + 300
Substitute: 0 = -25x + 300
Subtract: -300 = -25x
Divide: x = 12
X-intercept: (12, 0)
Meaning: Year 12 is when there are 0 fish
The y-intercept is when x = 0
Equation: y = -25 + 300
Substitute: y = 0 + 300
Simplify: y = 300
Y-intercept: (0, 300)
Meaning: At year 0, there were 300 fish.
