Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

The y-intercept of m is less than the y-intercept of n.

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept of a function:

The y-intercept of a function is the value of y when $x = 0$

Function n represents a cubic function that passes through the points (-1,0) and (0,2).

When $x = 0, y = 2$, and thus, the y-intercept is y = 2.

Function m:

When $x = 0, y = -6$, and thus, the y-intercept is y = -6, which is a smaller number than 2, so the y-intercept of m is less than the y-intercept of n, and the correct answer is given by option A.
