What is the y -intercept of the graph shown?

Back question 7 of 229 Next

Explanation

Choice B is correct. The y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane is the point x,y on the graph where x = 0 . At x = 0 , the corresponding value of y is -5 . Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph shown is 0,-5.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane that intersects the y-axis at y = -4 , not y = -5 .

Choice D is incorrect. This is the y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane that intersects the y-axis at y = 0 , not y = -5 .
