Question 4 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

The graph of which function has a y -intercept of 3 ?

Answer

Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola opening upward. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola has its vertex near negative 1 comma 1, with the curve extending upward to the left toward approximately negative 3 comma 4 and upward to the right toward approximately 0 comma 3.

Explanation

The y-intercept is the y-value where the graph crosses the y-axis, which is where x = 0. In choice C, the parabola crosses the y-axis at about y = 3, so its y-intercept is 3.
