Question

What is the y-intercept of the quadratic function
f(x)= (- 8)(x +3)?

Answer 1

-24

Explanation:

The standard from of equation of a line is expressed as g(x) = mx+c where;

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept of the line.

Given the expression g(x)= (- 8)(x +3), rewriting in standard form first we have;

g(x)= (- 8)(x +3)

gx)= -8x - 24

On Comparing with g(x) mx+ c, we will see that;

c = -24

Hence the y-intercept of the quadratic function is -24
