Question

Which of the following ordered pairs could represent the y-intercept of a function.

(0,5) (1,1) (9,0) (-2,4)

Answer 1

1.(0,5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: (0,5)

This is because the x coordinate is 0. For any y intercept, the x coordinate is always 0 as this indicates the point is on the y axis.

Contrast this with something like (9,0) and we see that y = 0 indicating this point is an x intercept (it is on the x axis).
