Question

Please help! 30 points! Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their y-intercepts?

1) The function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.
2) The relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.
3) The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.
4) They both have the same y-intercept.

Answer 1

A) The function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.

Explanation:

If we look at the chart we look at it and can use the process of elimination. We look at the first one and say ok, than the second-fourth and see they can't be so it must be the first.

Answer 2

1) The function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.

Explanation:

From the data given, I can conclude that g(x) is a linear function. That means that when x=0, y would be 0, and g(x) would thus have a lower y-intercept.
