The y-intercept of a function is that function's value when x=0.
.. f(0) = 4
.. g(0) = 0
These y-intercepts differ by 4.
If you want them to differ by zero (be the same), you have to move them to the same point.
Selection 1. Moves f(0) down 3 (to 1) and g(0) up 1 (to 1), so moves the y-intercepts to the same point. This is what you want, so this is an appropriate answer selection.
Selection 2. Moves f(0) up 4 (to 8) and g(0) down 1 (to -1). 8 and -1 are not the same point, so this is not the answer.
Selection 3. Moves f(0) down 2 (to 2) and g(0) up 1 (to 1). 2 and 1 are not the same point, so this is not the answer.
Selection 4. Moves f(0) up 3 (to 7) and g(0) down 6 (to -6). 7 and -6 are not the same point, so this is not the answer.
___
