Answer:

The y-intercept of the function f(x) = -2/9x + 1/3 is 1/3.

Explanation:

Given, function is

f(x) = -2/9x + 1/3.

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

The y-intercept of a graph is (are) the point(s) where the graph intersects the y-axis.

We know that the x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is 0.

So the x-coordinate of a y-intercept is 0.

To find the y - intercept set x = 0.

f(0) = (2/9 . 0) + 1/3

f(0) = 0 + 1/3

f(0) = 1/3.
