- Moving from left to right:
- The curve passes from quadrant 3 to quadrant 4.
- In quadrant 3, the curve trends up sharply to point (0 comma negative 5).
- In quadrant 4, the curve trends up gradually.
- As x increases, the curve approaches the line y equals negative 4.
- The curve passes through the following points:
- (negative 1 comma negative 9)
- (0 comma negative 5)
- (1 comma negative 4.2)
What is the -intercept of the graph shown?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Choice B is correct. The y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane is the point on the graph where . At , the corresponding value of is . Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph shown is .
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 , not .
Choice D is incorrect. This is the y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane that intersects the y-axis at , not .
