Explanation

The correct answer is -3. The y-intercept of the graph of a function in the xy-plane is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. The graph of the polynomial function shown crosses the y-axis at the point 0,-3. It's given that the y-intercept of the graph is 0,y. Thus, the value of y is -3.
