<span>In our equations, you can use the generic form of y = mx + b to determine the y-intercept for the function, with b equal to the y-intercept. For g(x), b =2 and for f(x), b=-1. These values are the y-intercepts for the functions. Based on this, the y-intercept of f(x) is 3 units below the y-intercept of g(x). We know this because we can subtract the b value from f(x) from g(x) to get the difference. Difference = 2 - (-1) = 3.</span>
A ferris wheel A construction worker whose making a ferris wheel would need to know and measure the circumference. A theme park manger would need to find the circumference to know if the ferris wheel is too big to go into the park. Hope that helps!!
