An electrician charges a set fee for every house call and then charges an hourly rate depending on how long the job takes. The total cost, C, of the electrician's services can be determined using the function C=65t+70, where t is the number of hours the electrician spends at the house working.

What is theY-INTERCEPT of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

• 70; which represents the total cost for all services.

• 70; which represents the set fee for the house call.
