Given the function shown in the graph:

f(x).

The function g is a transformation of f.

Let's determine the function which represents g, if g has a y-intercept at -1.

The given function f, from the graph has a y-intercept of:

-5

If g has a y-intercept of -1, it means that the graph of f undergoes a movement upwards to get the function g.

The units of translation will be:

-1 - (-5) = -1 + 5 = 4

This means there was a vertical translation 4 units upwards.

Now, apply the transformation rule for functions.

After a vertical translation 4 units up, the translated function will be:

g(x) = f(x) + 4

Therefore, the function which represents g is:

g(x) = f(x) + 4

ANSWER:

B. g(x) = f(x) + 4
