Question

Describe the y-intercept and end behavior of the following graph:

a
(−2, 0); The graph approaches y = −6 to the right.

b
(0, −5); The graph approaches y = −6 to the right.

c
(−2, 0); The graph decreases to the left.

d
(0, −5); The graph decreases to the left.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b.

The graph has a y-intercept at the coordinate pair: (0, -5). The graph also approaches the asymptote of y=-6 to the right, meaning as x increases, y gets closer and closer to -6.
