Question

Find the y-intercept for the parabola defined by the equation y=x^2-x-12

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,-12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $y=x^2-x-12$.

Now question says to find the y-intercept of the given parabola $y=x^2-x-12$.

We know that y-intercept means the y-value when x-value equals 0

so let's plug x=0 into given equation $y=x^2-x-12$  then solve that for y.

$y=x^2-x-12$

$y=0^2-0-12$

$y=0-0-12$

$y=-12$

Hence the y-intercept is (0,-12).
