Question

Function A and Function B are linear functions

function A (table) X -2, -1, 8 Y -4, -2, 16

which is true statement

the y intercept for function A is greater than the y intercept of function B

the y intercept of function A is less then the y intercept of function B

Answer 1

The statement the y-intercept for function B is higher than the y-intercept for function A is true.

The y-intercept of a linear function represents the value of the dependent variable (in this case, Y) when the independent variable (X) is equal to zero.

To compare the y-intercepts of functions A and B, we can examine the given data points.

For function A:

When X = -2, Y = -4

When X = -1, Y = -2

When X = 8, Y = 16

To find the y-intercept, we look for the point where X = 0. However, based on the given data, we don't have a specific data point where X is exactly equal to zero.

This is a limitation, and we cannot directly determine the y-intercept for function A from the provided data.

Therefore, none of the given statements about the y-intercepts of functions A and B can be definitively deemed true or false based on the provided information.

To make a comparison, we need more data or the specific equations of functions A and B.
