Question 5 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors

Raphael graphed the functions g⁡(x)=x+2 and f⁡(x)=x−1. How many units below the y-intercept of g⁡(x) is the y-intercept of f⁡(x)? Open image in full-screen view

Answer
A
2 units
B
3 units
C
negative 1 units
D
negative 3 units

Explanation

The y-intercept is the value of the function when x = 0. For g(x) = x + 2, the y-intercept is 2; for f(x) = x − 1, it is −1. The y-intercept of f is 2 − (−1) = 3 units below the y-intercept of g, so the answer is 3 units.
