Answer:

Their y-intercepts are equal

Explanation:

The y-intercept is the y-value where the function crosses the y-axis. In this problem, functions are presented in 2 ways: algebraically and in a table.

1) Fortunately, the algebraic equation is written in slope-intercept form; this means that intercept is easy to find. The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept. In function 1, the b value is 10.

2) Another way to describe the y-intercept is the y-value when x=0. So, the y-intercept on a table is wherever the x-value is 0. In this case, the first row represents when x=0. The table says that when x=0, y=10. This means that the y-intercept for function 2 is 10.

Since the y-intercept for both of the functions is 10, it can be said that the 2 functions have equivalent y-intercepts.
