Question

Which function below has the lowest y-intercept?

f(x)

graph going through (0,5) and (4, 3)
g(x)

Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.

h(x)

h(x) = 3x + 4

f(x)

g(x)

h(x)

The functions all have the same y-intercept.

Answer 1

Here is your answer:

The lowest y-intercept has function g(x) with the value of three the others have four (h(x)) and five (f(x))which would mean that your answer is the second option "g(x)."

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If f(x) is given with points (0,5) and (4,3), it can be easily plotted in a coordinate system (see .jpeg image in attachment).
If g(x) is a function defined by text:
Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.
Then, g(x) is given with:
g(x) = 6*x+3 (3 books read already, and 6 books will be read each month).
h(x) is already given with:
h(x)=3*x+4
These all three functions are plotted in coordinate system (see the .jpeg image), and it can be seen that the lowest y-intercept has function g(x), and it is the value of 3 on y-axis. Others have 4 (h(x)) and 5 (f(x)).
