Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their y-intercepts?

f(x) = 4x − 1
The function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.
The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.
They both have the same y-intercept.
The relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.

popitree · Answer

where is g(x)

anonymous · Answer

here is the chart

anonymous · Answer

can you see it?

popitree · Answer

yes
so u need to determine the equation of g(x).. thats the first step

popitree · Answer

now to determine this, use y = mx + c
m = (x2-x1)/(y2-y1)
take any 2 points and get m first

popitree · Answer

@hannah120899  can u do that

anonymous · Answer

what is the c for

popitree · Answer

c is the intercept on y axis
that is where the straight line cut the y axis(at x = 0)

anonymous · Answer

oh okay and can i use 1 and 3 for my 2 points?

popitree · Answer

sure u can use first 2 points given in the chart

anonymous · Answer

alright so i dont know what to do lol

popitree · Answer

The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept
this is the ans

anonymous · Answer

alright sorry about all that!
