Identifying Fixed Costs in Linear Equations

A warehouse manager uses a linear equation to model monthly storage costs, where the cost depends on the number of pallets stored. The y-intercept of this model represents the 'base facility fee' incurred before any pallets are added. What specific numerical value must the manager substitute for the variable representing the number of pallets to algebraically determine this y-intercept?
