Answer

The y-intercept of the graph of this equation would represent the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis. By definition, an intercept is when the opposite axis is equal to zero i.e. the x intercept is when y=0 and the y-intercept is when x=0. The slope represents the constant rate of change in the equation. It shows that for every marble added to the glass (x), the level of the water (y) rises by 0.3.
