Answer 1

A)(0,-2)

Explanation:

Remember, the y-intercept of the function f has the first coordinate equal to 0 and the second coordinate any number.

Then, if we want to find the y-intercept of the line y=-3x-2, we need to make x=0.

So

`y=-3(0)-2=-2`

Then the value of the coordinate y is -2 when x=0.

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0,-2).
