Graphing a Zero-Based Cost Model

In a corporate cost-analysis model, a variable cost line passes through the origin, meaning that when 0{}0 units are produced, the cost is 0{}0 dollars. When an analyst attempts to find the xx-intercept and the yy-intercept for this line, they find only a single point. State the coordinates of this shared intercept point and explain why the analyst must identify additional solution points to properly graph the line.
