Note: Your function is not clear.

So, I am assuming a sample function such as

f(x) = -2x + 3

So, I would solve the question based on the assuming function. The reason is that the procedure will remain the same and your concept will be likely cleared anyways.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Assuming the function

f(x) = -2x + 3

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding value of y.

now substituting x = 0 in the function

y = -2x + 3

y = -2(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

Therefore, the point (0, 3) represents the y-intercept of the function.

The graph of the function y = -2x + 3 is also attched below.

From the graph, it is clear that

at x = 0, y = 3

Thus, point (0, 3) represents the y-intercept of the function.
