Question

What is the value of the y-coordinate of the yintercept of the function show below? Ax) = - 4x²+2x-5

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the equation

`f(x)=-4x^2+2x-5`

Now,

To find the y intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y

So,

`\begin{gathered} y=-4x^2+2x-5 \\ y=-4(0)^2+2(0)-5 \\ y=-5 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of the y-intercept is (0, -5).
