Question

Use the two functions below to answer the question.Which statement about the functions is true?

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b  

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0) or (0, y)

Function A:

y-intercept = -2/3

Function B:

You can find the y-intercept by finding the slope-intercept form of the function, or you can look at the table and find a pattern. The pattern is: when x increases by 2, y decreases by 1. If you continue the pattern, when x = 0, y is -7.

So the y-intercept = -7.

The y-intercepts of both functions are negative
