Explanation

Choice B is correct. The y-intercept of the graph of a function in the xy-plane is the point on the graph where x=0. It′s given that fx=110x-2. Substituting 0 for x in this equation yields f0=1100-2, or f0=-2. Since it′s given that y=fx, it follows that y=-2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph of y=fx in the xy-plane is 0,-2.
