Question

What is the y-intercept for 3x^2 + 2x - 1

Answer 1

Plug x=0 into the equation and solve the resulting equation

The y-intercept:

3x^2 + 2x - 1

3(0)^2 + 2x(0)- 1

0+0-1

-1

y=−1 is intercept for y

(0,−1)

Explanation:

Answer 2

y- intercept = - 1

Explanation:

To find the y- intercept , let x = 0 in the equation and evaluate for y

y = 3(0)² + 2(0) - 1 = 0 + 0 - 1 = - 1

y- intercept = - 1 or (0, - 1) in coordinate form
