Mauryn wrote the following word problem to represent a linear function.
Sandwiches at King Sandwich cost the same amount and include bread, meat, cheese, lettuce,
and tomato. All other vegetables are extra. Sam bought a chicken sandwich with 3 extra
vegetables for $5.25. Erin bought a roast beef sandwich with 5 extra vegetables for $6.25.
Which represents the y-intercept for Mauryn’s word problem?

Two more add-ons cost 6.25-5.25 = 1.00   or 50 cents each

   so the base sandwich costs  5.25 - 3(50) = 3.75    (the y intercept)
