Answer:

a. Point of intersection with y-axis is (0,1)

b. Point of intersection with y-axis is (0,2)

c. Point of intersection with y-axis is (0, -2)

Explanation:

Here are some examples done for your reference.

To find the point of intersection with y-axis, we need to know that at y-axis the value of x becomes 0. So, putting x=0 in the equations will give us the point of intersection with y-axis.

a. We have,
y=(-1)/(2) x+1, putting x=0 , we get

y= 1

So the point of intersection with y-axis is (0,1).

b. We have,
y=-x+2, putting x=0 , we get

y= 2

So the point of intersection with y-axis is (0,2).

c. We have,
y=-x-2, putting x=0 , we get

y= -2

So the point of intersection with y-axis is (0,-2).

Similarly, the rest of the functions can be solved for the points of intersection with y-axis.
