Final answer:

The y-intercept of the function f(x) = 3x + 2 is the point where x is zero, which gives us the point (0, 2). None of the provided options A, B, C, or D accurately represent this y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of a function is the value where the line crosses the y-axis. For the equation f(x) = 3x + 2, the y-intercept is found by setting x to zero. Substituting zero for x, we get f(0) = 3(0) + 2 = 2. Therefore, the y-intercept occurs at the point (0, 2), which is not one of the options provided. The closest correct answer would be where the y-value is positive when x is zero, but as stated, none match.
