To determine the y-intercept of the function \( y = 2x - 2 \), you set \( x = 0 \):
\[ y = 2(0) - 2 = -2 \]
Thus, the y-intercept of the function \( y = 2x - 2 \) is \(-2\).
To complete your statement, you would need to know the y-intercept of the function represented in the graph. If the graph also has a y-intercept of \(-2\), you would say it's equal. If it is different, you would choose either < or > accordingly.
If you provide the y-intercept of the graph, I can help you complete the statement correctly.
