6. Intercepts
Y-Intercept= , this intercept would mean that the minimum wage would be $ when the year is 0. This is not realistic because you cannot earn a negative amount of money.
X-Intercept= , this means that the year would be for the minimum wage amount to be $0. This isn’t very realistic because people were earning minimum wage in 1991.

7. prediction
Using the equation, we predict that in the year 2080, the minimum wage will be $33. That would be a lot! Our R-squared value was pretty high, so it might happen!
